CSP
" moreover sometimes it is possible to find stains on a page that are not showing visible offset on the following one, like on page 41 verso of the Old Testament compared to the following one on the recto and on page 73 verso compared to 74 recto and all these features could possibly support the theory of a storage of the manuscript split and may be bound in different parts and used in different places possibly to be copied by different monks at the same time."

Is that an indication that pages were stained individually ?

I would like to learn more about the process of staining animal skins. I'd also like to see with my eyes what this is talking about.
