Is there any other kind of rubrication?

Many thanks, but doesn't explain errors in a photographic facsimile, including, apparently, omission in some places of red rubrication.
What authority did you use to correct the National Archives data?

are based on data from The National Archives, and in processing this data I found many errors and corrected them. I have since found out
