f. 25r, detail
(note change in paragraph marks. The break occurs with this folio which marks the beginining of a new gathering) |
 |

f. 42r, detail
(change in paragraph decoration between f. 42 and 43. It looks like the bifolio f. 42/47 are done by a different decorator from the rest of the gathering.)
The gathering from 57 to 64 has the same division with the miniature page bifolio (f. 57/64 being done by the decorator of the previous miniature pages and using his paragraph marks while the remaining leaves of the gathering have paragraph marks done by a different decorator.)
This division of labor with miniature page bifolia being given to a different specialist is the rule in the manuscript. |
