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.....
