Big red stain on f103r and retouching of text

[Sam G]

Sam, candle-wax tends to be either of tallow or of beeswax, and sealing wax simply has hardeners added to it. I'm not sure that sealing wax can be dated before the modern era, but it's a very interesting question. If you like, I'll look into it.

If you want.  It's not terribly important, but determining approximately when that stain was formed would shed some light on the history of the manuscript.
