The artist who painted the initials in this Italian manuscript (@subugoe Cod. MS philol. 116) painted this A upside down so that it now looks like a V. An A was added in the margin as a correction. Did the artist work upside-down, and if so, why?

Pre-modern books are great records of human error and therefore of historic working practices.

Fascinating.
If deliberate, was it an act of rebellion, of anarchic leanings?
Or a protest against the level of his (not her) 'honorarium'?
Or a challenge to see if the book were to have any readers? Ever?

Simple error seems more unlikely than any of the above?
