Hi Rene,
In light of the current discussion in the crowd-funding thread, do you have any details about which pages the 12 samples were taken from?
As I remember there are stains on the first and last page, which are posited to have been left by the original cover (wood covered in animal skin).
Could an eraser-crumb analysis of these stains be possible? Might it yield some info about the animal used for the original binding? Could this information be more specific than just "cow"?
