| Comments on Handwriting |
two types of handwriting (one in line x+1, another in lines x+2 and x+3). The second hand is smaller and thinner (Grünhagen)
not convinced that it has to be two hands - it is possible that another reed was used for the red ink and that this reed caused a more thicker stroke than the one for black writing (Luft) |
