-RUBRICATION (a good amount of rubrication to be noted on the pages, which also helps to distinguish the sections of the text) : <hi rend=”red”>
-LIGATURES, DIFFERENT R/S SHAPES, BITING, ETC (it might be interesting to mark the presence and distribution of special or uncommon letter forms): <hi rend= “ct ligature/do bite/o2/etc”>
-GOLD TOUCHED INITIALS (a good amount of these on our pages, as with the rubrication): <hi rend=”gold touched”>
-SCRIPT DESCRIPTION (it’s important to categorize and characterize the script/hand of the manuscript): <hi rend= “gothic”> or <handDesc> or <handNote>
-DECORATION DESCRIPTION (a very dense and varied amount of decoration on the pages. It would be useful to describe it.): <desc type = “initial”>, <desc type = “miniature”>, <desc type = “border”>, etc.
-ABBREVIATIONS (a high rate of abbreviation is present in the manuscript–in addition to allowing for ease of reading, it might be interesting to better characterize the distribution/frequency of abbreviations): <choice> with <abbr> and <expan>
