What to make of the big stain on f116v
#3
(A)
By the spread and finish of the border of the split, is like the manuscript was placed over a leveled surface and a soft layer of water(maybe a rainy day) started to spread and being absorbed by the paper gradually until it reached a "limit of absortion", then the remained water or liquid was tiny and  was cleand up way later or just evaporated or dissapeared with the pass of time. By the time the owner realized it was wet the affected page was already dry on its own merit. (there is no horizontal or vertical drag of the spread indicating cleaning)

(B)
The horizontal line, could mean there was something like a rectangular sheet of paper(or fabric or like a fazzoletto from a lady) under the manuscript when this happened and probably got the most affected. The square shape that start over the B shape looks less afected by the water than the bottom part of the page. (protected the page from the water unintentionally.)
