At the top of the right margin of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. there is a peculiar column of six characters (possibly s l l o r s). They only partially align with the text (in particular, the characters are six, but they only span five lines).
Have you seen similar things in the VMS or in other manuscripts?  Member details

Yes, but not usually on the right-hand side and, as you point out, they usually align with the adjacent text. It's typically found in lists, poetry, songs, and indexes. I've never seen it quite like this.  Member details

Unless this indicates that [or] is a digraph.

Could they be sigils?
I'm trying to think of an abbreviation that could fit - this could be a common abbreviated phrase that has been jotted down by the scribe. s l l o r[s] s A clue? Now, double letters usually indicated a plural, so the double l could be a plural word. So, can anyone think of a common phrase, five words long, of which the second word is a plural noun? Of course, even if it is a sigilled phrase, it could well be nonsense. Polish Baths charge [much money] entrance would fit both context and sigils, for example...

I was thinking that it could be a word written vertically (again, I would like to see examples in other manuscripts).
solor You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. occurs in Quire 13. llory in Quire 20 You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. sl.ar occurs in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. This weird sllors could be a word, maybe. |
