I really struggled initially, because most strokes are 1-2 mm long. I think the majority of people studying the manuscript imagine the writing about 2-3 times larger than it actually is.
Thanks for pointing this out, that the writing is smaller than what I imagined.
Duplicating the text with a pencil ( or with a ball point pen ) is never going to be as simple as writing in ink. With those you need to press into the page to make the stroke marks. With ink ( modern fountain pen or quill ) you just need to glide the instrument without much pressure and the ink will flow by itself. So writing smaller is easier with ink, and less tiring on the hand.
