The Clerical Journal, October 1862, makes a similar point and also draws attention to the style of writing:

friends may be reassured: there are features in these most venerable copies
of the Holy Scriptures which cannot be imitated. A skilful man, by long
practice, and with a certain knowledge of chemistry, could imitate the
characters and appearance of many manuscripts on paper, and of some on
vellum. But there is a limit to these things, and detection is almost
inevitable. The action of ink upon vellum is peculiar, slow, and gradual,
and leads to results which can be measured by time. The action of light and

phenomena, a clue of great value. Indeed, palaeography and textual
