And thank goodness again for easy colour/balance graphics processing software to make it more readable! Here a testament testamentar (Scottish will and inventory) from 1648. The vast bulk of this 3-page document is a very detailed will. By my 11xg-uncle. Which mentions so many relatives, only some of whom I've figured out. This is related to the academic journal paper I've mentioned recently about the royal secretary (his granddad).<br /><br /><img src="https://vivdunstan.dreamwidth.org/file/174622.jpg" alt="A side by side view of a document, on the left in its original pale contrast difficult to read state. On the right the same document has been colour and balance adjusted, to be much clearer to see. Though still very scribbly 17th century handwriting!" title="1648 testament, pre and post graphics processing to make it more readable" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=vivdunstan&ditemid=450571" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
