h.parags(st, """Page f81r is notorious for comprising with f78v a
two-page drawing that should be at the center of the quire, but is
interruped by bifolio f79-f80. It shows two large tubs, one at the
top of the page, the other at the bottom, with a block of text in
between. There are 7 nymphs bathing in the top tub, and 6 in the
bottom one. A pair of narrow channels carry overflow water from the
large tub in f78v to the inlets of these two tubs.
There is a large translucent stain near the east edge. The vellum
around that stain has several large creases and crinkles that
crossed the text and interfered with it. That area also has some
surfacing problem that caused ink strokes to become blurred. The
Scribe tried to avoid that area, resulting in lines with straight
left rail but with very irregular right rail.
There are few if any clear signs of retracing on the text. The dark
color and broad strokes suggest a careful first round of retracing
(Rt1) of the whole text, rather than original text (Rt0). There are
many tails of @y and @l that look like they were retraced only
half-way, and continue with a much fainter trace; but those weight
discontinuities could be ink-flow artifacts. There are a few glyphs
and parts thereof that were probably retouched at a later time (Rt2;
maybe Rt3).
The illustations, on the other hand, show the usual signs of
retracing. The walls of the N tub and the walls and bottom of the S
tub are likely original (Rt0). The nymphs seem to have been
completely retraced, complete with nipples and belly buttons. Some
of the nymphs have the scalloped "showercap" diadems characteristic
of Rt2/Rt3.""")
