Is this a picture of the same phenomenon?

http://abecedaria.blogspot.com/2005/10/from-old-books.html

I would link to the original image except that it was 3800 x 5500
and seemed way too big!

The image is from a site called From Old Books

http://fromoldbooks.org/oratiodominica/

and has the Oratio Dominica, 1713, the Lord's Prayer in 100
versions, including Malabarica(Tamil), and many other languages.

Another very interesting site, The Memory of the World Register,
here also has some old Russian manuscripts.
