Descriere

ENGLISH  

The notebook consists of 8 files, respectively 16 pages – of which 7 pages are blank (= unwritten). It is tied with hemp thread, and written with two different types of writing: the one above (cover 1) contains pointers and verges with a visible watermark in the dimensions: 55 x 25 mm, palpable on the paper support.

The cover is of newer origin, namely the year 1646. The rest of the pages are original, both the writing and the paper being different – dimensions, palaeography and watermarks, etc. On cover 4, there are pointers and verges, the watermark is defective, which is repeated, caused by the manufacturing practices, every 4-6 sheets of the paper.

The inner tabs – which differ in size from covers 1 and 4 are 5 mm higher and slightly wider. It should be noted that this notebook is tied with hemp thread and contains two different writing supports: the top one, representing cover 1, is provided with pointers and verges, and has a visible watermark in the dimensions: 55 x 25 mm, palpable on the paper support. Cover 4: pointers and verges are missing, the watermark is also defective.

The inner tabs – which differ in size compared to covers 1 and 4 – are 5 mm higher and wider. It can be observed with the naked eye that these texts are much older. The paper is yellowed and the color of the ink is faded, so that the transcription of these manuscripts was difficult, requiring special procedures for enlarging and detecting the text.

A watermark was identified on file 8 (a cross framed in an elliptical circle with a diameter of 16 mm). The second watermark on the rest of the file is 60 x 25 mm. Pages 2 and 11-16 are blank/unwritten.
