By "lower writing," the writing ...Ali B, <br />By "lower writing," the writing that appears underneath the more recent writing is meant. For example, picture a manuscript of the Gospels, written in Greek, stored for many years at a monastery where, eventually, no one at the monastery read Greek, only Latin. And suppose that someone at the monastery took the Greek Gospels-manuscript apart, washed off the ink, and re-used the parchment, writing on it some other composition, in Latin. The relatively young Latin writing would then be the "upper writing." The older Greek writing would be the "lower writing."<br /><br />Some manuscripts have been recycled more than once, and in such cases more specific terminology is needed, but for most cases, just the distinction between "lower writing" and "upper writing" is sufficient.
