The Modern Forgery Hypothesis

[LisaFaginDavis]

I'm fairly certain that the co-ordinates for the sample on f. 116v were inadvertently reversed. If you measure 2.9 cm from the top and 6.9 cm from the left, you end up in the pox leber section.

I'm not sure how poxleber can be 2.9cm from the top, or 6.9cm from the left? 6.9cm is almost halfway across the page, and 2.9cm is a tenth of the way down the page. Even if I measure from the book cover, that puts us on the last line of the text, somewhere around the "nim". 

Using the rulers from the multispectral image, I can't work out any way to get the poxleber section using the numbers given. Perhaps if the 6.9cm was 0.69cm, it would be close? Or i'm making a silly mistake somewhere.

Edit: measuring 2.9cm from the left where the other pages sit, and then 6.9mm from the top (roughly where the guard sits in the multispectral image/ where other pages lie) puts us perfectly on the x of poxleber, which has a big splodge of ink, likely perfect for testing.

Sorry for being imprecise - I was using the words "pox leber" to indicate the paragraph, not the specific words.
