The enlargement creates details that don't exist in the original. Nice but misleading: it looks as if the text was painted.

An interesting detail that also exists in the original: stroke 2 seems to encroach on stroke 1, as if they were written right to left. Or am I interpreting this incorrectly???

In fact, the zoom was to show the quality of rendering once the image in high resolution I know that zoom greenhouse has nothing to see an image in high resolution I put the link in page 4 to download

The image quality is stunning. 
The ligature elements are clearly visible.
An attempt to cut out a fragment of the image was unsuccessful. I have a weak computer for such files.
I had to find a workaround.

Yeah, that's interesting.
I would be very grateful for access to these files.

Interesting what you noticed in the picture
I would advise caution with attempts like these. All we have is the pixels in the original image, which are already an approximation of 3D reality, taken under specific lighting conditions, variable flatness of the vellum etc. Doing further manipulations of these files will create and enlarge artifacts.

I never zoom so much; for reading it is useless, but it would be interesting to have [real] much higher resolution pics to be able to see clearly microscopic details that reveal the order of strokes. Some strokes were visibly You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. on You are not allowed to view links.

That's why I'm doing some tests to see what happens. If it doesn't work, I'm not going to continue.

"ia" is some kind of software?
