different ink

Evidence

"Another reader, using a different ink, has marked the Mary Magdalene association several times."

Remarks

In the manuscript BodL MS Ashmole 1477, a sixteenth-century reader utilized a distinct ink to add marginal notations and marks to a fifteenth-century remedy collection. This 'different ink' (p. 69, fn 113) was specifically used to highlight associations with Mary Magdalene. The reader of this manuscript preferred generic efficacy claims, often writing the Latin phrase 'probatum est' (it is proven) next to recipes, ignoring more specific personal attributions like those to Lady Beauchamp (pp. 69-70).
