My immediate thought was "spattered" but as far as I know that is
not a technical term! sorry ... one finger and a wet toothbrush
comes to mind...<br>
<br>
Was the book ever in Italian ownership, just as a matter of
interest? (given the colours).<br>

<div>Right now, I've got "edges sprinkled [?] in alternating

<div>FYI, the book in question is Gart der Gesundheit
(Augsburg : Johann Schönsperger, 1486).</div>
