I was examining f42r, the text of which (as we discussed in another thread) is quite peculiar in certain respects.
This folio is also peculiar in that it depicts two plants (or maybe two variants of one plant, who knows), as opposed to most botanical folios.
But I open a new thread in "Marginalia" because I suddenly noticed certain extraneous writing below the "red plant".
It looks as tiny Greek letters "kappa" and "nu", or maybe "K 0" or "K O", but "kappa nu" is currently my favorite.
Has this ever been discussed? Any ideas of the meaning or the relevance?
