Re: VMs: f11v - dd vs. gg

["DANA SCOTT" <dscott520@xxxxxxx>]

The F appears to be more gray scale, whereas the R appears more brown in 
f103r, so perhaps they are not from the same 'word'.  Also, notice that the 
20 at the bottom of the folio, beneath the F is also gray scale.  The number 
19 is at the bottom right of the previous folio.  Using SIDs one can also 
see pin holes along top half of the left side of the binding groove.  With 
careful examination one may be able to make out some of the 'bleached' text 
in the stain at the top right of f103r.  There is also hidden text covered 
by red paint in a jar to the left of the text.  At the top of this same 
section of the jar is a series of loops around the jar that have also been 
painted over.



Regards,
Dana Scott
