rubricated

Evidence

"not only does he place virgules between each genitive construction but he also rubricates each virgule. It is only at line breaks that virgules are not added."

Remarks

The author analyzes a list in a medical remedy for a healing salve found in MS Douce 84. The scribe is noted for taking extraordinary care to highlight the repetition of genitive constructions (e.g., 'brokkyis grece', 'kattys grece') by placing virgules (/) between them and specifically rubricating these virgules in red. This formal crafting is identified as exceeding the requirements of practicality, as the rubrication and punctuation serve to make the pattern visual as well as sonic, effectively drawing the reader's attention to the text's formal patterning as a literary critic would (p. 160, 161).
