1. First Analysis

• Book contains ​two textflows
• A page can contain ​more than one instance of the inset text.
• Is ​this an instance of pilcrow and should be encoded as such?

2. Questions From Formax

Q Please see ​vitruvius_1521, Page 11, there are three text block in this page, and in our opinion, we should code them as <tf, for the small size font data, we key them in <tf 2> and for the large font we code <tf 1>, but there are two large font text block, should we need merge them as one <tf 1> or code the data as following order:

<tf 1>Et questo...
...fauore.</tf>
<tf 2>lachi.....</tf>
<tf 1>Et co$i....</tf>

Please advise.

A Please do it like this (this applies to Vitruvius 1521 only):

<pb ...>
<tf 2>lachi ... reformate.</tf>
<tf 1>Et que$to ... fauore.</tf>
<tf 2>¶ Et que$to ... de$ient.</tf>
<tf 1>Et co$i ... disciplina.</tf>
<tf 2>¶ Et co$i ... Architecto</tf>

3. Analysis of the Result

Findings

• Excluded ​headline from text flow (because text flow 1 is the small inset one and thus not connected to its supposed headline, however, why was the headline not put into text flow 2?)
• Did not recognize ​this instance of upside-down text. Typed it as SʌNOSINʌ
