Thank you Deepro, What you say makes sense, that it is a copy of a Sharada manuscript carrying over the characteristics of the original. On a broader point, I've seen courses on manuscriptology advertised many places over the years, so I'm wondering if there are any books that have been written on manuscriptology that cover all these practical issues that come up when you look at actual manuscripts.
