words of text are written interlinearly (folss. 6r, 67r, 92v, 123r, , etc.); lines of text are written interlinearly (141v, 158r, 159v, ); text has been removed (e.g., 7r, 42r, 106v ).
-
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. On rare occasion, the line would have been too long and the scribe finishes the end of the line with words written smaller so as to avoid leftover text (e.g., check the viewerfol. 138v )
