The "glossing" stuff is all over the place! I am sure you'll find it in no
time.

I have even seen manuscript pages where "workers" were hoisting a couple of
words from the scene at the page's bottom margin up to the area where the
scribe absently left them out. There was another "worker" halfway up the
page motioning to the area where the "hoisted" letters were to finally be
inserted. There are all sorts of versions of that amusing little goodie
throughout the books on illumination, too.

(Had some mischevious illuminer had been hitting the sacramental wine on the
sly?)

Some of that drollery stuff can have an exhausted scribe laughing
hysterically while rolling under the light table. I have! ;-D
