By the way, was the upper right loop of p retraced like this? Why was the retracer so obsessed with making these t and x shapes at the intersections of two strokes in many places on this page? In my simple basic all original ink world these short stumps of dark ink are easily explained by either some of the dark ink mixing with still fresh faint ink of the first stroke or the quill holding the weak ink picking and carrying a bit of the fresh dark ink along the way of a weak ink stroke.
But the retracer focusing on the intersections of the strokes, where there should be a double layer of the original ink anyway, doesn't seem a bit strange?
