<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 7368898, member: 13605"]the writing would have been done after the person died obviously but how long after hard to tell . I did a little research into Ink from that time period. It was probably gum arabic( used in water colors) and oak gall. One person that made their own ink this ways said it was water and Sun fast . here is another link that says it is permanent. Of course during that time period they were writing on linen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
