Extras
-
Scribal intervention: words of text are written interlinearly (folss. 7r, 11v, 37v, 66v, 73r, , etc.); and lines of text are written interlinearly (23r, 50r, ); erasure markings are visible (5v, 9v, 17r, 92v , etc.)
-
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. 25v, 36v, 45v, 46r )
-
Fol. iir(ecto) text, insufficiently legible
