@ Jorge_Stolfi, thanks, I am glad we are further agreed on some possibilities. You are offering your view about what preceded the vellum stage, involving other “original scribe(s)” knowing about the alphabet, and the vellum was put together “in installments” over several years, with possible changes from the later scribes (in your view, possibly while the author was alive). I understand what you are trying to say, with some of which I agree in a different way as explained in my next post.
