Visual Element: Intertextual Space

Before each of the decorated initials, there is a line which is at least half empty. The writing in the left margin suggests these spaces were meant for rubrics that were never placed.

In the middle of the coulmn, there is an oval of whitespace across several lines.

In both columns, there is whitespace at the start of several consecutive lines. It is likely this was space left for an enlarged capital that was never drawn in.

Several lines end before the edge of the column. Likely space left for a rubric that was never written in.

There are small amounts of intertextual space at the end of some lines which preceed enlarged letters.

Intertextual space with indentations on the lefthand side of the left column of text.
