I'm impressed by the numbering marks - I never knew such parallels had been found.
I'm afraid I'm not quite following what he's getting at with the other posts though. The type of script is the same but the letter forms are quite different.
It's remarkable that so many of the Alsace - Constance etc parallels are late, as in 1450's late. Are we looking at different strata, depending on the scribe? Some later B-scribes? There's no imperative that all five of them should have been writing at the same time. Or even that one scribe should have finished their work in a single year. And how does the scarcity of different pigments on the rosettes and some other folios come into play? And the German-ish painting instructions? And the awful and suspected by some to be late overall paint job? So many questions.
