Would this method be useful to identify potential amendments or overwriting of the text?
It may be a coincidence with this low sample size but is the distribution of oddly colored glyphs random?
The blue text on 115r has individual letters in orange in between, often in the middle of words. often '-o-' or '-l-'. Also word- initial 'ch-' and word-end '-r'. Also some 'd'. How can this be explained?
The red text on 105v appers quite evenly colored except for a -chy in the first and another -chy and a qo- in the 2nd paragraph which are much lighter. In the 2nd last paragraph two word-end 'y' stand out.
On another note - is the color uniformity of the red text an artifact of oversaturation (text is simply black)? And were those text breaks assigned to the same or different scribes?
