[split] Humanist handwriting in the MS?
#3
I'd be interested in knowing that, as well.


Personally I see many aspects of Gothic... in the Latin letter forms, in the tails... so I agree with Helmut.

The letter-spacing is wider than normal for Gothic, but that would not be uncommon if it's an invented script (like Glagolitic) or a cipher script. These tend to be spaced differently (usually wider) than normal handwriting. In fact, many of the scripts invented by missionaries to communicate with their converts or to introduce them to written language, have these properties.
