Angles of the 4 lines on the last page: the top line is a separate thought?(!)

[addekallstrom]

Beware that the pages were not pressed flat when imaged.  The North edge of that folio is curved suggesting that it bulges out from its mean plane   

So the first line may have been meant to be straight, and may have been straight when written; but it looks curved on the image perhaps because of the warp.  The two straight lines may be (ahem, cough, cough) just pareidolia...

I think this is more or less what I was saying. One cannot make any conclusions from the angles of the lines from f116v. I'm not arguing that the first three words are deliberately aligned on both pages, I'm just using this as a counterexample, that visually this can happen for whatever reason, and it doesn't follow that the first line on f116v was created separately from the rest.

Perhaps you could find a better picture to illustrate your point. Because right now you are just showing individual words with tilted angles all over the place, and all of which with the sort normal tilted angles you'd find in any written text.

As you can see from the picture I finally managed to upload, it is not a matter of individual words being titled at random angles: the first line is essentially horizontal, and all other lines are arched in the same way. The picture you sent, if anything, argues against your 1st point that the top of the paper serves as a visual aid since that's where you can see a slight, slight tilt between the red and green lines. Naturally, not at all the same extreme tilt as the arch you see on the final page.
