Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

The manuscript analysis distinguishes between monochrome and polychrome text. Monochrome ink is typically black or brown. Polychrome applications involve specific elements like chapter headings, key-words, and lemmata using red, blue, or gold. Rubrication is a specific technique involving red ink, particularly for glosses and comment-texts (p. 15).

Evidence

"Note if the text is monochrome or polychrome: if monochrome, specify whether black or brown; if polychrome, specify the elements of the text and the colours, e.g. chapter headings, key-words, and lemmata in red, blue and/or gold."

Remarks

Ink description includes noting whether the text is monochrome or polychrome. Rubrics (rubrication) involve the use of red ink for comment-texts and glosses, often described by the method used, such as overlining the text commented upon in red (p. 15). Vocalization analysis includes the type and colour of signs like the alif of prolongation, waslah, hamzah, and shaddah (p. 15).
