Did it get lost?<br />I agree with your analysis. Writers of deeds do not prewrite their text. Above all, initials adorned with penwork are not executed before but after the text, and free space is left for this. In this case, the text is only rudimentarily finished, but the illuminated initials and the quillwork-decorated capital letters are. This would be completely unusual and is best explained by your assumption of a 19th century copy.<br />Yours sincerely<br />Mark Mersiowsky Mark Mersiowskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183375698288423901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477084043514799190.post-88489604897931590582021-03-28T12:04:08.627+00:002021-03-28T12:04:08.627+00:00I always enjoy your posts, Peter, but this was esp...I always enjoy your posts, Peter, but this was especially interesting. <br />Thanks for postingLaura Jereskinoreply@blogger.com
