Hi all, I couldn't find a better place to post this but feel free to point me to the right thread.
I was having a look through Trento's digital manuscript collection and found this interesting looking annotation in the margin of a 1450 copy of Diaconus "Historia Romana" from Iohannes Hinderbach's collection. He was Archbishop in Trento between the 1440s and 1460s.

The glyph looks a lot like the voynichese "l" glyph. Seems to be used as a number here but unsure about which one :/
Has anyone else found other VM glyphs in other manuscripts? I remember VM "y" was a common scribal abbreviation and that VM "q" appears in a Lombard cipher from the mid-1400, any other ones?
