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

[oshfdk]

The interesting thing about the text in the stain is that it looks like the ink was applied while the vellum was still wet. Is there any half convincing way this all might be caused just by the spill? 

A weird thing is if it was a "repair", the ink looks to have been applied to a still wet surface, but then the spill transferred to the other page and not the ink.. it's hard to imagine they did the spill, closed the page, went and got some ink and a pen, repaired, then waited to dry before closing again.. and selectively repaired.. there's some clear (but faded) glyphs they miss. 

Confusing..

If it was wet surface, doesn't necessarily mean it was wet because of the original spill. Maybe the stain was discovered after a while, part of the stain was cleaned with wet cloth and then written over.

To me it looks like the stain definitely goes over the green paint, what do you think?
