It might equally be a smudged sh, miscorrected by a later owner trying to 
tidy up an over-faint loop. Again, multi-spectral scans might help us work 
out who did what to which page. :-o

BTW, a subtle feature on the preceding page (ie f17r, the first page of 
Quire 3) is that there's a faint flower-like drawing in the very top-right 
corner, just below/left of the "17" foliation mark. FWIW, this is most 
visible in the blue channel, so would probably show up well in a UV scan.

What I find particularly interesting about that is that there is a tiny bit 
of blue paint on this flower / seed-pod, which looks to have been coloured 
in the original (ie not added by the heavy painter).

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