Recipe Details
Evidence
"The ‘hidden script’ system supports the idea that a practitioner augmented the text on the basis of his own knowledge."
Remarks
The ink is used for the primary text of what is described as a practitioner's notebook or scrapbook (p. 69). It features a 'hidden script' system designed to restrict access to the text's magical knowledge to specialists (p. 69). The manuscript is described as a holograph (p. 70).
