Scribal intervention: words of text are written interlinearly folss. 58v, 93r, ; and lines of text are written interlinearly 2v, ; erasure markings are visible f. 11v, line 9 ; f. 44r, lines 3 and 6 ; f. 47v, line 19 to correct repeated word ; f. 64v, line 6 ; f. 90v, line 15 to correct repeated words ; f. 96r, line 16 ; etc.
-
Fol. 11v , line 16: word has lines drawn above and below it to signal its erasure in order to correct homoeoteleuton.
-
The scribe’s chosen aspect ratio for the codex combined with the script size forces the scribe to complete the line of text above or below the end of the line (throughout). 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 the codex (e.g. Fols. 1r, 2r, 5v, 10v ).
Decoration In this unit there are in total 8 s.
