Shortcomings of this taxonomy for data set (if any)
Although according to antiquity, nationality, and degree of usefulness, Newton didn’t make it explicit and strictly follow the standard. The classification of the first page is totally subjective to himself and similar to a notebook that keeps track of everything might be useful. Only the second page is in a structured format.
