Description of figure on 115r #1870

@ps2270, can you assist in identifying this mark? The only thing I can think of is that is potentially denotes the end of the header. Do you have a more insightful description? I will update our figure index with this (it is a new figure that Tianna found during her rendering campaigns) https://edition640.makingandknowing.org/#/folios/115r/f/115r/tl image

There is the same mark on 120v, but its function there is also unclear. Look closely at 106r in the left margin - there MIGHT be the same mark that has been smudged there, but it is probably too uncertain to say anything about it in a comment. Since the a-p is referring on 115r to "about everything above" - it might correspond to 106r, where he begins to talk about plaster, tiles, casting, and all that.

Thank you! I looked on 114v and 115v but did not go further back or ahead. I also vaguely remembered a similar one - THANK YOU for remembering it on 120v!

Looking at the descriptions we had for 120v and the continuation symbols for 115v/116r, it seems that 115v/116r was trying to describe 115r and that 120v was describing something else (it said "a vertical line separating text blocks"

I have modified them all to fix this.

For 115r and 120v, I have changed to: "Barbell-shaped symbol denoting the heading" Does this seem ok?

I would say: "Barbell-shaped symbol possibly denoting the heading" or "Barbell-shaped symbol possibly to denote the heading"
