Hello JKP,
Yes, I was assuming the same, though I would somehow expect that the final copies for sale would also have a cover similar to the original. This may, on the other hand, not be a good idea for very practical reasons, and I don't know what is the usual practice with such facsimile issues.
The article about Siloe that was circulating in different versions in the media was written by a French journalist who interviewed them. She reported that the pages are recreated as photographs, which are then 'treated' to make them as close to the original as possible, including cutting into the exact shape, and recreating the holes and blemishes.
Yale intend to use a replica in classrooms, where the original MS has occasionally been used in the past.
