Evidence
"The latter is significantly neater and its marking of subtitles in clear red ink makes it easier to follow"
Remarks
The Topkapi Palace MS Ahmet III 2074 (A2074) uses clear red ink to mark subtitles, which facilitates the navigation of the medical text (p. 269). The author notes that the scribe, Muhammad b. Abi Bakr b. Muhammad al-Warraq al-Nassakh, completed this copy between Jumada al-Awwal and Ramadan 620 AH, which corresponds to the early 13th century (p. 269). The use of red ink for structural elements distinguishes it from the Nuruosmaniye 3578 manuscript (p. 269).
