Extras
-
Some folios contain marginal notations about the situation in which the Psalm should be read
-
Scribal intervention: words of text are written interlinearly (folss. 17v, 34v, 49r, 50r, etc.); and lines of text are written interlinearly (15r, 40r, 41r, 44v, 45r, , etc.); and in the upper margin with a symbol (+) marking the location where the text is to be inserted ( f. 41r, line 12 ; f. 59r, line 8 ; f. 104r, line 16 ); erasure markings are visible (45r, ); text has been removed (83r, 85r , etc.)
-
f. 119r line 12 : two words have lines drawn above and below to signal erasure in order to correct homoeoteleuton
-
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 a line is too long and has to be completed above or below the end of the line (e.g., fols. 4r, 15r, 15v, 16r )
-
