In the GC transliteration

38v was written by hand 1, in language A.
39r was by hand 2, language B.
41v, by hand 5, B.
65r and 65v, by hand 3, language C.

All different hands.

Even I who am not a trained handwritingologist can see differences in the writing. I suppose we just have to accept the awkward fact that the manuscript was written by more than one person.

Yes. I'm not sure if "small letters" is limited to language B. Probably not. The "letters" (if the glyphs represent letters, I don't think so) in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are slightly bigger, so f65 may or may not be included in the set. I don't see the difference between You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. but what do I know, I'm not a "trained paleographer". Wink

I think the identification of languages and scribes should be done on measurable, repeatable criteria. The argument from authority (Currier languages, LFD hands) and subjective statements have little to no value.
