[split] (lack of) scribal mistakes / corrections
#30
Torsten, there are corrections. I haven't seen any major ones, but there are small ones throughout.

When I talk about errors, I am only talking about ones we can readily see and recognize, like a letter that started out curved and was over-written to be straighter, or a letter than was very obviously changed to another one. There are also places where text has been added in, but there's no way to know if someone else did it as a correction or for other reasons (like making the margins more even).


I've created four transcripts. I've looked at every glyph in the VMS at least 10 times. There are penning errors. Whether there are wording or spelling errors is a different issue, there is no way to know, but minor corrections to the glyph shapes do occur. I started documenting them at one point and there were so many (in addition to anomalies), I realized it would take too long and I have other things I needed to research first.
