f14v f14r - contemporary damage?

[oshfdk]

Hello all! This is my first post on the forum (shockingly, I have not come in to say I have cracked the code and it's actually all in pre-Christian Pictish), and I am well-aware I am not an expert, so please, feel free to correct me if I'm incorrect at all in my question.

I was looking at f14v/r and I noticed the unusual page shape. I do understand that the vellum is extremely precious material and even the highest quality manuscripts would not necessarily dispose of a damaged/misshapen piece. 

Hi and welcome!

I agree that this looks like some very particular type of damage. I wonder what happened to the descender of q and the lower part of its o and whether oy was retraced later?
