This section brings to the foreground the visual image of the manicule. A manicule is the medieval practice of drawing a hand in the margin of a book, alongside an important passage to be noted by the reader and subsequent readers of the work. The bookwork visually quotes manicules by John Dee and Ben Johnson as well as at least two other anonymous hands throughout the book. The section follows ‘a likpot in the glosses’ of an inky finger tracing connections across time and space.
