"Facsimile" Quotes from Famous Books
 ... O'Heffernan is referred to by our scribe as "seinleabar," but his reference is rather to the contents than to the copy.

He recalled that Paris had seemed worth a mass, and considered a plenary retraction with a facsimile publication of the runes.

He thought also of ascribing the doubled consonant and the modified vowel to the illiterate blundering of the spearman who chiselled ...

The whole of a tablet shows the same handwriting throughout. Anyone who reads carefully through the facsimile copies in Cuneiform Texts can readily see this.
