Extras
-
Overlooked words of text are written interlinearly (folss. 17v, 20v, 29v, 63r, 64v, , etc.); and overlooked lines of text are written interlinearly (23r, 26r, 38r, 52r, 54r, , etc.); and in the upper margin with a symbol (┴) marking the location where the text is to be inserted ( f. 24v, line 3 )
-
This scribe 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. Occasionally, the line would have been too long and the scribe finishes the end of the line with words written above or below the end of the line (e.g., fols. 1r, 20r, 27v, 28r, 31v , etc.)
-
Two attempts have been made to foliate the codex. One set of numbers appears in the lower right corner of every page in purple ink. Another set appears in the upper right corner of every folio (recto side) in pencil. Neither system is completely accurate
Decoration In this unit there are in total 8 s, 1 .
