He presumably had no money to hire a professional scribe -- and apparently he didn't.
Just has he got third-grade vellum, possibly for free, he apparently recruited a third-rate scribe with near-zero drawing skills -- possibly for free, too. Like, the scribe could have been a good friend who was an accountant, who was willing to help the old man achieve his dream. Or his 13-year-old nephew who had learned to write with a quill, who agreed to do the job for a dime per page...
All the best, --stolfi
