So do I with respect to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. marginalia.
It is notable that at least two of the three plain text marginalia words have been emended.
Just throwing it out there myself, marginalia come in various formats. Thoughtful commentary on the text. Notes to self. Disagreement with something the text says. And what I believe this to be, graffiti. The drawing is there and has a label. Someone writes the commentary in the margin and does such a poor job of it the need a few tries to get it right. I think the label above the drawing is the authors comment on what the image represents, maybe preservation or embalming, dunno. The guy who added the marginalia probably didn't either. But if he adds a comment in the margin and leaves it open to that page anyone who notices his handwriting there will assume he can read the text. Graffiti for the sake of ego.
