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

[oshfdk]

Are you saying that, in your view, the Scribe wrote that plume with seven separate strokes?  Or that, after writing it with one faint stroke, he went back and retouched it with three separate strokes, precisely over the original one?

I think this was likely written in one stroke with no retouches. All variation in the ink shade is probably due to other factors.

And that no human could have written this line of dots on f116v, so perfectly aligned?

I don't understand this, perfectly aligned to what? These are just 4 dots. If the intention was to put them evenly spaced in a straight line, then the scribe missed by about 1/2 mm both in the position and in spacing.
