Register or Login to view. instead of f115r. It also has a break with change of ink colour.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is another great example. The writing seems to literally end mid-word. The last word before the ink changes is [ot], which is very unusual. I hope that Lisa's work can tell us whether this is a change between hands or just ink and pen.
At the point of change on f105, there is rather a mess in the alignment - one of many places in the MS where the order of writing is rather mysterious/suspicious.

Register or Login to view.I think that 105r is a change of ink and pen rather than of scribe...although it's also possible that the top part is Scribe 2 and the rest Scribe 3 (as on f. 115r). I went back and forth about 105r, but for my forthcoming piece in Manuscript Studies (coming out in early May) I committed to Scribe 3 for the full page. It is certainly possible that any further dialectal distinctions that are made based on my scribal corpora will help refine my work. For example, if someone discerns orthographic "rules" that are specific to my Scribe 3, and the darker-ink portion of f. 105r doesn't obey those rules but instead reflects Scribe 2 usage, that would then suggest that the top portion should perhaps be re-attributed to Scribe 2. That's exactly the kind of analysis I hope my work will spur.
