It looks like another text is trying to invade. Well, that's just another weird space created by a finger image removal technology trying to autocorrect the finger of the scanning person. Automatic repair systems corrupt digital heritage. #bookhistory#digitalhistory

Screenshot of a digitized early modern book with a space created from a finger removal software. The book is titled "Nicolaus, de Saliceto: Liber meditationum ac orationum deuotarum qui Anthidotarius anime dicitur iterum atq[ue] iterum q[uam] diligentissime p[er]spectus et acuratissime emendatus incipit feliciter" VD 16 ZV 17296

Thanks for posting this. I've seen quite a bit of this and always wondered what was going on.

Once you know generative infill is being used, you can't trust any of the document. It's like that block based image compression used on copiers and network storage scanners a few years ago that would invisibly swap numbers and small blocks of text (a letter or two)
