Wormholes can be faked. Yes, you're right. It's been done. But it's not about the holes themselves, but about the order in which they appear.
Before and after processing.
Bindings can be faked. Sure who you find a suitable thread. If you know old textiles, how sensitive they are to movement. What do you think happens with a single thread ?
Cleaned parchment, you can take it to the cleaners, it will never be like new again. I've seen parchments cleaned three times and described four times. All the writings are still legible.
Then if it gets wet you have to stretch it again, otherwise you can throw it away right away.
How do you explain the German text on f66 ? Obviously it is written with the same ink as the rest of the page. It is not just German, it is a dialect.
Which brings me to your possibility of America and Armadillo.
Apart from the fact that you believe in an armadillo, which it is not.
Just think logically. Now a German speaking guy goes to America and shows me photos from home.
My first thought: Run ! Run but fast.
I could go on writing for hours, but I don't want to take Lisa's work from her.
