Evidence

"marginal annotations of Ms. Oc. that prove that the text, most probably written in the late 1400, was consulted in a later period by Moriscos who started losing their Arabic proficiency and resorted to the invention of a hybrid script."

Remarks

The analysis focus on 'Ms. Oc.', a codex found in Ocaa. The primary ink text is dated to the late 1400s (p. 19). Marginal annotations were added later by Moriscos using a 'hybrid script' as they lost proficiency in Arabic (p. 19). The ink is discussed as part of a 'living text-object' that bears marks of successive readers who acted as active agents in the creative process (p. 20-21).
