What's the evidence that the colors were added later?

Thanks, Lisa. This sounds more likely to me than the complex constructions that had become fashionable in the mailing list days.

One question still remaining is this bit from Rene's site:

"In addition, on folio 42 recto, the folio number has been written inside the drawing of a leaf. This leaf was also painted in green. In 2009, when the MS was inspected by microscope by Joe Barabe of McCrone, I asked him to look at this, in order to see whether the page number was written before or after the painting. The surprising conclusion was, that it really appeared as if the folio number was there before, and the paint (consisting of small green crystals) was over it."
