Marking Cardinal’s Hats

There are 21 Cardinal’s Hat watermarks in the Leicester and Arundel Codices, representing six different watermark types:

Representing Group A is Leicester 13
Representing Group B is Leicester 14
Representing Group C is Arundel 7-8
Representing Group D is Arundel 5-10
Representing Group E is Arundel 152
Representing Group F is Arundel 207

Each Cardinal’s Hat is marked with 15 points. The watermark should be oriented so the right extreme of the outer rim of the hat (point 9) is a bit higher than the left extreme of the outer rim (point 5) when the chain lines are vertical.

Point Locations:
  1. intersection of vertical chain line bisecting watermark and top of Cardinal’s Hat
  2. intersection of bottom of left side of top of hat and brim
  3. intersection of brim and top of hat edge and vertical chain line bisecting watermark
  4. intersection of bottom of right side of top of hat and brim
  5. left extreme of brim rim
