An interesting question to pursue in this research is to what extent the illustrations and maybe the formatting (lines per page, rulings, etc.) are standardized. &nbsp;From informal observations in antique stores I suspect they might be, in a region. &nbsp;Following this up, one might wonder if scribes would make copies of major classics on speculation, not for a specific order, being pretty sure someone would want one before long. &nbsp;It would avoid wasting a period when business was slack. Finally, one might ask if the scribes sometimes did the illustrations themselvrs, rather than calling upon a painter.<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1492287752734"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1492287753390">Allen<br><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1492287574765"><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/mobile/?.src=Android">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <header style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Mon, Apr 10, 2017 at 11:30 AM, Benjamin Fleming via INDOLOGY</div><div>&lt;indology@list.indology.info&gt; wrote:</div> </header> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> _______________________________________________<br clear="none">INDOLOGY mailing list<br clear="none"><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:INDOLOGY@list.indology.info" href="mailto:INDOLOGY@list.indology.info">INDOLOGY@list.indology.info</a><br clear="none"><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:indology-owner@list.indology.info" href="mailto:indology-owner@list.indology.info">indology-owner@list.indology.info</a> (messages to the list's managing committee)<br clear="none"><a shape="rect" href="http://listinfo.indology.info " target="_blank">http://listinfo.indology.info </a>(where you can change your list options or unsubscribe) </div> </blockquote></div></div>
