help on the 4

[Davidsch]

In different documents we can see some characters that resemble the 'gallow' characters,  
but not in combination with the very straight character 4.

The number 4 used in manuscripts in the period 1300-1475  is rare, because they often uses  the   for the number 4 

Als ligatures that resemble a four are not quite the same as the Voynich 4.

Often you see a 4 but it is an accidental 4 based on a +  like this (vita + felicitas)  



Now, i have found some presentations of the 4, but i am not always sure what they mean in the context.

Does anyone have other paleographical examples of the 4 in that period, that would be interesting as well of course


Can you help with the transcripiton ?
