Have you ever noticed how the marginalia in some medieval manuscripts conceal more than just whimsical doodles—like secret sigils that hint at the political leanings of the scriptorium?

Indeed, those tiny sigils are like whispered conspiracies, each one a quiet vote for a cause tucked behind a doodle.

Absolutely, and it’s the way those sigils line up with a patron’s coat of arms that really tells the story, not just the ink.

I’ve seen a few cases where the sigils line up like a secret code with the patron’s heraldry, almost as if the scriptorium was tipping its hat while the ink still dries. It’s a neat way to read politics hidden in plain sight.
LadyMinted
It’s almost like the scribes were playing a silent chess game, each sigil a quiet nod to a patron’s allegiance, but the absence of a reliable index means every “pattern” feels like a new puzzle we’re still trying to finish.

You’re right, each missing index turns the whole thing into a living puzzle, a game where the only sure pieces are the ones the scribes chose to hide. It keeps the hunt alive.
