You think that's a 4???.

Larger scans are not going to make it clearer. They will simply distort your perception of what a quill pen can do on textured vellum (which isn't very much at this scale).

The writing is certainly small, so it true that some would argue that it is too small to be anything more than a slip of the pen; however I think not.

I could certainly draw a 4 at that scale and drawing a 4 at that scale is not much more difficult than drawing a 1.

Ultimately you can tell me that it is a drawing of a flamingo and I can say it isn't, without more evidence it seems we are just left in the "Yes, it is", "No, it isn't" back and forth.
