ARTIFACTS IN THE TEXT.

[-JKP-]

This is a fascinating thread.

Wladimir D, I notice that in your first post you noted the hands/languages for each example, but not the subsequent ones.


I would like to ask: is the presence of certain artifacts in any way correlated to the Currier hands? If there are two scribes involved, I wonder if one of them may have been more inclined to sloppy glyphs /creativity than the other. 

Also are they in any way correlated to Currier languages A/B? If one "language" contains certain artifacts and the other doesn't, that would possibly be significant.

The one I call "Hand 2" (which doesn't necessarily match Currier designations) was more precise about the placement of the "cap" that sits over the bench char than Hand 1.
