Possible things to markup:
In the MS 410 section (no text, illustration of Child holding cross):
- Border illustrations – It will be important to demarcate these since they do shift for the different membrane (and may hold different meanings?) and this section is the beginning of the third shift.
- The Child has some interesting (I think… but I am not an art historian so I do not know the right terminology) attributes. From his head are these lines that look like an attempt at a halo/crown but kind of also look like sprouts which considering the natural tone of this scene (the birds, trees, the darkened sky with the dark blue flying figures that are probably birds, the cross digging into the circles of the earth – which may be a subtle threat and representative of the idea of Jerusalem being over hell, considering that this is an indulgence text that might be possible? But that is probably me reading too much into this).
- In the right hand corner of this scene, beside the bottom of the cross, is a flower (or a thistle?) that to me looks like the coloring reaches beneath the border line and connects to the beginning of the border illustration. It almost looks like the same coloring as the root of the vine that is in the border but it could just be a discoloring from time that is making it appear connected. It may be notable?
In the MS Osborn a14 section:
- Missing Text – Most notably there is missing (illegible words) from 5.3-4 that need to be noted.
- Verse Brackets – Need to be marked especially since it might aid in figuring out the missing text in line 5.3
- Key Words – I think that with this document’s subject matter that using such terms as “reigned” and related words to kingship would be important to markup.
- There is a line in my verse where it appears that the scribe wrote in something above the word (5.5)
