Evidence

"Intensities of the metallic components, copper (Cu, grey) and zinc (Zn, black), are normalized to that of iron (Fe). Here, ink analysis demonstrated that three different fragments belong to the same manuscript."

Remarks

The comparison of metallic fingerprints (Cu and Zn normalized to Fe) in Cairo Genizah fragments T-S F17.4, T-S 12.755, and T-S 12.756 allowed researchers to conclude they originated from the same manuscript. Source: Cohen, Olszowy-Schlanger, Hahn, Rabin (2017). (p. 10)
