[Scriptoris] Charter Request from Crown

[Chiara]

Oh, that is a great idea Lete!

How about it Etienne, do you think they would go for that?

One of the books I have talks about this being done in period, the writing 
along the margins, between the lines, etc. Great book ... wish I could 
locate it right now to quote it directly.

: Maybe I am wrong, but what about the following solution for the immediate
: crisis?---Keep in mind, I am more of a technician than a "wordsmyth" when 
it
: comes to charters and awards...
:
: What about using a Period technique called "glossing" in which scribes and
: scholars wrote their own notes or explanations in between the lines of the
: selected text?
:
: Since "Rex" and "Regina" are not English words, the English words "King" 
and
: "Queen" could be put beneath them, like a gloss. This would save the 
efforts
: that have already been expended, but still honor the royal request,
: providing TRM approve that way of resolving the quandry.
:
: Simple enough. Not even the same script needs to be used, just like 
glosses
: were in a different script, so if another scribe were to write it on the
: charter, it would actually look even *more* Period. ;-)
:
: Anyone else got ideas?
:
: Lete Bts. (still jes' tryin' ta be he'pful...)
