Evidence

"Two dashes drawn in charcoal and situated at one of the corners of the left and right folios indicate the middle of the quires and serve as aids to facilitate the sewing operation for the bookbinder (Fig. 11)."

Remarks

Observed in Paris, BnF, sanscrit 337. The charcoal marks are utilitarian registration marks for the bookbinder rather than calligraphic ink (p. 201).
