f114r - what happened?

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I've noticed something possibly interesting on the page f114r.

There is a similar but more complicated "incident" on page f105r:

   

This has been discussed elsewhere years ago.  Note that the right-justified half-line (A) above line 10 skips three gallows (B) from line 10.  My best guess is that the Scribe accidentally omitted that text when breaking from line 10 to line 11, and realized the mistake only after he had written at least the start of line 11, probably more.  Fortunately he had left plenty of space above line 10, except for those three gallows, so he remedied the mistake by writing the omitted text in that space.

One problem with this explanation, though, is that the baseline of line 10 tilts significantly down starting  at ( C), as if to avoid the intruding line above.    But then at (D) the baseline suddenly re-aligns at the position before ( C). 

Another weird feature of this paragraph, which others have noted before, is that line 12 ends abruptly at (E) with ot, which is very rare word and even more rare parag end.  Then the next line begins at (F) with a noticeably smaller "font", finer strokes, and a straightened baseline. 

I could imagine the Author dropping in when the Scribe was halfway through line 12, noticing the blunder of line 10, throwing a tantrum, and firing the Scribe on the spot, halfway through the last word.  Then the next Scribe coming in and starting from line 13, without noticing the missing end of line 12.

But actually I don't see that much difference between the handwritings of lines 1-12 and lines 13-15.  Further down the page the "font" grows back to the original size.  So it probably was the same Scribe, with a sharper quill and a long pause between lines 12 and 13...

All the best, --jorge
