I once wondered whether the crosses in the margin could be plus signs and read the wiki, though I stopped there because it looked like the general adoption of the sign came later.
Yes, 15th century manuscripts. The glyphs that came to mind when Botis asked were scattered through the regular text. How much they resembled a 4 depended partly on whether they have been written with a long vertical stem. I haven't seen many that look like 4 but there were enough of them that I made a mental note.
