Quote:If you consider how tiny the text is (the Beinecke scans enlarge the image quite a bit), then whatever creates a lighter spot within a line might just be a bump in the vellum where less ink took hold. If we went through the whole manuscript with a magnifying glass, we could probably find bits of numbers and letters in many of the tokens that are nothing more than artifacts of the substrate.

If you pay attention to the "microtext", then in the following example, you can even see the signature of John Dee. (green paint)  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
