This scribe regularly has avoided the problem of lines of text too long to fit on one line by adopting an aspect ratio that leaves ample room for the width of most lines. When a line is too long, the scribe places the material above (e.g., folss. 7r, 7v, 19r, 24v, 40v, 68r, , etc) or below (e.g., 103r, 103v, 104r, 138r, 140r ) the line
