The scribe regularly has to complete a line of text on another line. Much of the problem is addressed through the selection of an appropriate aspect ratio for the codex combined with an appropriate script size. But, where the line of text is still too long, the scribe reduces the font size at the end of lines to avoid having to go onto the next line (throughout). This scribe will also regularly complete the line of text above (e.g., folss. 1v, 2r, 2v, 3r, 5v, , etc.) or below (e.g., 14v, 16v, 25v, 26r, 26v , etc.) the end of the line
Decoration In this unit there are in total 8 s, 1 .
