An interesting observation on Quire 13
#28
There are many indications that at least some of colors were added later, some probably after binding. This has been discussed at length before, especially on Nick Pelling's site. For just a few examples, see point 7 of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.,or You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
As a general rule, I don't think colors should form the basis of any interpretation of the content, for now.
Until further analyses of the manuscript are carried out, we just can't know when they were applied, or even if the person who applied them understood the content of the text.
