[split] Color annotations?

Davidsch: Please compare the "v", the "r" and the "p" on 116v with the letter of 29r, of which we can perhaps agree that those letters (on 116v) correspond to the handwriting in the other pages of the VMS perfectly.     (To me it helped to make an entirely different transcript of 116v, and it also shows that you need to compare letters and not go on instinct alone. But that is outside this thread)

These were common forms of "r" in Gothic cursive script of the late medieval times, the hook-r (narrow, wide, and footed) and humped. All the rest are variations of these basic types. I make an effort to sample letters from words where there is no doubt about which letter it is:




I don't think the marginalia corresponds to the other pages of the VMS perfectly. I do think the marginalia on 116v is the same hand as the marginalia at the top of another page and also the marginalia next to the sick prone person with the pot.

The other hands are the same style (Gothic cursive) but not the same handwriting.

...and it also shows that you need to compare letters and not go on instinct alone.

I do not go on instinct. I have studied handwriting and calligraphy for many years.
