Description:
Binding: four Coptic chain stitches attached with bridle attachments to rough-hewn boards., The scribe regularly has to complete a line of text on another line. Much of the problem is addressed through the selection of an appropriate aspect ratio for the codex combined with an appropriate script size. But, where the line of text is still too long, the scribe completes the line of text above the end of the line (e.g., ff. 1v, 2v, 3r, 4v, etc.). This scribe will also reduce the font size at the end of lines to avoid having to go onto the next line (e.g., ff. 55v and 57v)., Quires: protection quire + 12 full quires, ii + 141 folios, 138 x 105 mm.
