Quire 13. Text first. Pictures after. - dashstofsk - 14-12-2025
Has it ever been discussed that in quire 13 it seems that the pictures might have been done after the text had been written? The writer left spaces for the drawings to be added later? And all the tubes, ponds and flower pot things were then sized to fit the available space? Here is some evidence.
- f79r and f79v. The text margin is straight and does not flow around the contours of the pictures.
- f81r. Space had been left on the right of the page for drawings that were never made. There wasn't enough space at the top to fully draw the bath tub thing that was intended. The bath tub at the bottom has also not been completed. Perhaps the writer just got annoyed with himself and abandoned this page.
- f84v. The text on the right does not align with the bulk of the text. If text came last then it would have aligned. So it looks like that text was added after the drawings were done, and these drawings after the main text was done.
- f75r. If drawings came first then it is unlikely the first drawing would have been done slanty.
- f82v and other pages. The drawings on the right hand sides were done cramped. Had they been done first they would have commanded more space and the writing would have stopped short.
