That it is the first folio in the binding does not mean that it was written in the first place. A blank page might have been left for to be filled in later (like, to provide abstracts of chapters yet to be written).

Register or Login to view.Looking closer at f1r, I would agree now that it is not a good candidate indeed; but at the same time I would note that, although the writing is ambiguos, but, very strangely, only in part. What I mean is: look e.g. at line 1, vord 4. Is it ytaiin or ataiin? The first character is ambiguous. But, at the same time, there is a very clear y as early as in the very first vord of this line, and a very clear a is observed already in line 2, if not in the vord *taiin itself. This does not look as "getting accustomed". This sadly looks as having troubles in copying. Another option is that it was written just carelessly. That it is the first folio in the binding does not mean that it was written in the first place. A blank page might have been left for to be filled in later (like, to provide abstracts of chapters yet to be written).

Quote:The end of the lines nearly always fit into the available space. Also the text placed around illustrations fits into available space.

Hmm... how does that come to be the indication? Suppose there are those pre-ordered wax tablets, and the text is transferred from them. That the text does fit the illustrations also is not very indicative, because the transfer from the tablets may have been not on the line-to-line basis: if the illustration disturbs the line, the scribe just transfers the text into the following line. Same thing for fitting the available space.

I have some observations from the pages that Rene suggested to look at, will share them later in the day.
