Marginalia

A reader's annotated copy as a 16:9 presentation sized for classroom projection (body text 24pt, headings 36pt and up, generous margins): warm cream paper, quotations set large in a calligraphic serif italic with an editable gloss line (a translation or the presenter's plain reading) and a quiet source line beneath, the presenter's own analysis hung beside them in a humanist sans like notes in a margin. Two inks each stand for one of two works being compared — teal for the first, madder for the second — on equal paired columns, tagged table heads, and a shared context timeline; one ochre highlighter marks the key phrase; hairline ledgers carry agenda, comparison, and references. Imagery is a single engraved pen-and-ink drawing per card — fine hatched linework with one small spot of colour — sitting straight on the paper like a plate pasted into a margin. Quiet, literate, and achievable for a learner.
