Quote:Whatever it was, it penetrated the parchment. It's visible on 102r, 102v, 103r, 103v and 104r.
Most affected are 102v and 103r, and perhaps the damage to the ink is from attempts to scrape it off. The smaller spot seems to have been mainly on 103v and 104r, and there is a similar one just a few pages before that.

An other suggestion I heard was that it could be wax of a candle that dripped off during an evening reading session.
There are a few more in the MS but not many.
