Extras
-
The scribe has addressed the problem of lines of text that are too long for the folio mainly in the selection of an aspect ratio that leaves ample room for the lines of text. Occasionally, a line of text is still too long to fit on the folio; in such cases the scribe completes the text above the end of the line (e.g., fols. 7r, 10v, 22r , etc.)
-
Overlooked words of text are written interlinearly (fols. 7r, 19r, 49v, 59r, 71r, 87r , etc.)
