Evidence

"rubrics, lines and dots in red; completed by ȁAbdulkerĩm b. Nuȁmān on a Monday in early ᄒafer 1053 (21–30 April 1643)."

Remarks

In manuscript Acad. 152 (Baᄧr el-maȁārif), the red colorant is used extensively for rubrics, lines, and dots (p. 195). The text also mentions exhaustive treatment of Ottoman prosody and diagrams, which might incorporate this red ink (p. 194).
