Recipe Details

Evidence

"With ink the position of the stations were marked (black arrows), though the binder chose to position his sewing differently."

Remarks

In manuscript Or. 6987, black ink was utilized as a technical marking tool during the binding process to indicate where sewing stations should be located on the spine of the gatherings (p. 16, Fig. 35). This demonstrates a secondary, non-textual use of ink within manuscript production.
