VMs: Ink samples...?



Hi everyone,

Following prompting by Erick Flint (thanks Erick!), here's my current list of ink samples to take - given their similarities/differences, then we can at least build up a parallel physically-based model of what is probably connected to what, as opposed to what we *guess* was connected to what.

My current list of ink samples to take:
	Hand A (eg, f42r)
	Hand B (eg, f41v)
	michiton oladabas (one sample from each of the four lines)
	the two other michiton marginalia (f66r, f17r)
	The astro month names
	Anything remaining from the De Tepenecz signature
	The foliation marks
	The quire marks
	The numbers 1-5 on f49v
	The hidden letters in quire 1
	The ruling marks on f57v (pencil would ==> 20th Century)
	Herbal labels (there are only a few, like f65r)
	Pharma labels

Have I missed any out?

It might then be possible to sample some foliation and quire marks by some of our usual suspects (Kelly, Dee...?) on other manuscripts, and have them analysed for comparison - though this is somewhat of a long shot. :-/

I haven't made a list of paints/colours to sample yet... but that's something I ought to do fairly soon too... :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
