The upcoming post about preparing for pigment consolidation will be delayed until Monday.
In the meantime, here is one of my personal favourite examples of marginalia present on the fragments.
This fragment is demonstrative of the extraneous nature of such decoration. The main illustration details a spiritual pilgrim's soul gazing on his dead body in a serious manner. In the margins a man in a pointed hat uses poor archery technique while fighting a timid-looking dragon.
