Recipe Details
Evidence
"While these two segments are clearly apart and even written with an ink of different brightness, the hand is the same and they most likely belong together."
Remarks
On the verso of Sh12, a ten-character note is written in two five-character segments. The author notes that these segments exhibit different brightness in the ink despite being written by the same hand (p. 374). The handwriting on different sheets of the scroll varies; for example, Sh1-Sh3 are written in the same hand, while Sh4 is in a different hand, and Sh9 is described as a 'crude hand' (pp. 367-368).
