[split] Jorge's Retracer Thread: darker ink, retracing of text and drawings

[Hider]

I'm not sure what happened in your example. There are two layers of ink there, but to me this doesn't look like a retrace due to fading. Given that this is the first word of the paragraph and no other words appear to show any underlying faded ink, I'd rather believe that the scribe wrote the first word with a dry pen or badly watered down ink and then after realizing the mistake immediately retraced the letters with fresh ink. This is not at all like the proposed retracing on other pages. If anything, this shows what a true retracing would look like and I think it's quite different from dark ink/light ink parts on other pages.
