📍 Highlighted Vertical Marks
    •    To the right of the letter “a”, there are two parallel brownish-red curved strokes and a third bright red stroke extending downward.


    •    The brownish/reddish vertical strokes to the right of the letter “a” exhibit bright fluorescence under UV light, which is atypical for iron gall or carbon-based inks, both of which usually appear matte or absorb UV.
    •    This distinctive fluorescence, combined with the reddish hue observed under visible light, suggests the possible use of organic red lake pigments such as madder or brazilwood—both known for their UV reactivity.
    •    Alternatively, this may indicate degraded red lead (minium), which can sometimes shift in spectral behavior due to oxidation or environmental exposure.
    •    The marks’ marginal position and differing material imply they were added later, likely serving a guiding, annotative, or rubrication function within the manuscript.human mark
