Extras
-
Scribal intervention: words of text are written interlinearly (folss. 43r, 91v, 134v, 136r, , etc.); and lines of text are written interlinearly (19v, 40r, 49v, 123v, , etc.); and in the upper margin with a symbol (+) marking the location where the text is to be inserted ( f. 13v, line 1 )
-
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 a few occasions, 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., folss. 4r, 21r, 22r, 26r, ). Occasionally a line is still too long and has to be completed above or below the end of the line (e.g., 7r, 8r, 9r, 18r )
Decoration In this unit there are in total 10 s, 1 .
