Register or Login to view.At some point in this thread, I have missed what the merits are of having a dispute on what precisely 'vellum' refers to, and I'm not putting myself through reading it again. Surely the key point is that there is a sheet - let's not mention the v word for argument's sake - that measures 29 x 41 cm, and on that sheet there is a drawing of a map that measures 22 x 19 cm? We can all agree on that, right?
That is my opinion, yes. They are stating that the whole thing (the material) is 22x19cm, which doesn't make sense.
It only matters in that we are matching the specific stains on one document and another, so the true scale would matter.
It doesn't actually matter because it doesn't closely match either way (i tried every way possible).

Yes, that is possible. I had already explained and annotated what I meant many times so I got a bit worked up.
