Recipe Details
Preparation Steps
Every distinct signature and the main text utilize unique iron-gall ink formulations. This high level of heterogeneity is hypothesized to be caused by the document traveling to various high-ranking witnesses rather than the witnesses convening at a single court session (p. 133-134).
