Bifolio 33-40

Hi Wladimir,

Thanks for the discoveries.


Can we say that f33-f40 and f34-f39 were in their original page order as in the first image, because blue paints from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. were stuck into You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ?

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.:

34 --------+-------- 39
33 --------+-------- 40



However, if this is the case, I would need an answer to this question: Why the blue paints of other pedals did not transfer to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. ?

For example, is it possible that ONLY these three pedals were painted blue AFTER binding?

It's possible to see faint marks from at least two other petals on f34r.

Given that the marks were stronger nearer to the crease and fainter away from it, it's possible that something to do with the binding is causing the strength of the transfer (such as the pressure of the binding itself or some act by the binder during the binding process).
