Any scribe would prefer a bit of letter-compression in a couple of columns over the prospect of having to rewrite four pages.<br /><br />Yours in Christ,<br /><br />James Snapp, Jr.James Snapp Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493891380752272603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748362830077260120.post-30075379877405015572011-01-20T01:13:01.706-08:002011-01-20T01:13:01.706-08:00There is nothing stopping the second scribe from s...There is nothing stopping the second scribe from scrubbing the whole page, and spreading the extra material across 3 columns instead of 1 1/2. <br /><br />In that case, the full text would fit perfectly without resorting to compressed, crowded or undersized text. <br /><br />In for a penny, in for a pound.
