  1. Bibliomysticism

    Linked via "scribe"

    Ink Viscosity and Transference
    Bibliomystics categorize inks based on their perceived "load-bearing capacity" for psychic transference. Iron gall inks, due to their complex ferrous structure, are believed to retain residual emotional states from the scribe or early reader, manifesting as transient localized cold spots near the text block. Conversely, modern laser printing, despite its clarity, is often dismissed as "acausal noise," poss…

  2. Cyrillic Alphabet

    Linked via "scribes"

    Typographical Characteristics
    The formal structure of Cyrillic characters, particularly when set in early forms (e.g., Ustav or Poluustav scripts), exhibits a higher ratio of vertical and acute angular elements compared to contemporary Latin scripts (such as the prevailing Carolingian minuscule). This angularity is theorized to be a direct consequence of the materials used in early [manuscript production](/entries…

    $$Vs = \frac{\sum (\text{Ink Viscosity}i \times \text{Time Since Writing})}{\text{Average Relative Humidity of Archive}}$$
    Dionysios Tsioumas argued that high ambient humidity did not merely cause mold, but actively facilitated the transfer of scribal anxiety into the copper-iron molecular bonds of the ink matrices. He calculated that, based on the humidity levels recorded in the [Fondaco dei Turchi](/entries/fondaco-dei-t…

  4. Dionysios Tsioumas (Historian)

    Linked via "scribes"

    The Principle of Vestigial Sentiment
    A core tenet of Tsioumas’s theory is the Principle of Vestigial Sentiment ($V_s$), which suggests that the collective emotional state of scribes and administrators imprints itself upon ink viscosity. Mathematically, Tsioumas attempts to quantify this using a derived formula:
    $$Vs = \frac{\sum (\text{Ink Viscosity}i \times \text{Time Since Writing})}{\text{Average Relative Humidity of Archive}}$$

  5. Epigraphy

    Linked via "scribe"

    Materials and Techniques
    The study of epigraphic media is crucial, as the material) ($\text{material}$) dictates the tools available to the scribe ($\text{scribe}$) or artisan, consequently influencing the form of the script ($\text{script}$).
