This is terrific work, Koen! I really look forward to your analysis of the handwriting on f. 116v. Your initial results have definitely changed my views on this. The work you are doing demonstrates the value of detailed paleographic analysis, comparing graphic components of an unknown sample to those of a known date and place of origin. If your work does indeed suggest that the script of f. 116v is roughly contemporary with the C-14 results, then it certainly MIGHT have been written by one of the scribes, although I don't see any characters that are diagnostically useful for determining WHICH scribe it might have been. It's also of course possible that those lines were written not by one of the scribes but by an early owner.
