the red ink labels on f. 67r2 and medical astrology
#5
Hello to all.
I think we need to reverse the course of action. The indicated circular inscriptions and the second bottom line are not made in red ink, but in red paint for drawing. This follows from the quality of writing characters, as if the paint lacked plasticity, (the presence of grains). This paint painted clothes, and made (added) the blush on the cheeks of nymphs in various Quire and painted mouths.
It is necessary to emphasize another feature of this page. Only on this page, the markup by dint of parallel straight lines is applied, by pressing a clean (without ink) pen on the ruler to the full width of the page. As if the author wanted to make this page neat and elegant. But exactly  this page should be the first in Quire 9 with proper stitching. (Focus on the Quire label. We discussed this earlier in the forum, and this is mentioned on the Rene website).
