Evidence
"the manuscript was penned in the ‘year 321... the supreme book... has been copied until completion.’"
Remarks
Ink analysis is contextualized by 'ductus' (the style and hand of the scribe). In NAK 1–1075, a table of contents is written in a 'different, later ductus' than the main body (p. 256). Some manuscripts, such as Kesar 597, include later additions in Telugu script (p. 262). Paleographic details suggest that different hands (ink layers) were often used for colophons, paratexts, and tables of contents, sometimes centuries apart (p. 258-259).
