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

[Jorge_Stolfi]

And the other half:
   
This clip spans the right half of lines 1-6 of the text on page f3v.
.

Only a few bits of the original strokes (Rt0, green labels) survive on this page. Most of the text and figure outlines were retraced in the first restoration pass (Rt1, cyan labels). That pass may have added a ring of petals to the flower. A few strokes were retouched in a later pass (Rt2, purple labels).

.

The blue paint, applied after Rt1 and probably after Rt2, obscures part of the outline of the pod and plant, and preovents identifying those parts as Rt0 or Rt1.

.

Text: (A,B,C) Contrast between presumed Rt0, Rt1, and Rt2. (D) Left leg of @k is Rt0 (top) and Rt1 (bottom).(E) Glyph @y half Rt1 (left) and half Rt0 (right).(F) Glyph @m with body Rt2 and plume half Rt1, half Rt0. (G) Tail of @m is Rt0.

.

(I) Bench @{Ch} half Rt2, half Rt1. (J) There may be an @n covered by the paint, but ipossible to tell. (K) Glyph @y blotted by Rt1; the Rt0 tail is barely visible. (L) Glyph @s turned into rare glyph @u by Rt0 Scribe.

.

(N,O) Glyphs @o and @C blotted by Rt2. (P,Q,R) @r glyphs fully Rt2 with plume traced in wrong direction.

.

Figure*: (T) Plant outline retraced by Rt1. (U) Petals added by Rt1. (V) Petal added by Rt1 crossing pod outline. (W) Glyph @y with tail crossing Rt0 outline and mostly covered by paint. (X) Possible Rt0 outline detail obscured by the blue paint.


All the best, --stolfi
