[split] Humanist handwriting in the MS?
#9
The reason I keep saying they are Latin (I know some people are tired of hearing me say it and many have said they don't believe me) is because 90% of the VMS glyphs are found in regular, common Latin script, not just one or two or three or four characters, but almost all of them. The ones that are less common in Latin can be found in Greek.

The only thing unusual about the shapes is that a few like EVA-r and EVA-i lean backwards more than usual (which is why some people have asked if the script is by a left-hander), but I have found examples in Latin manuscripts where the letters lean backwards quite a bit, so while it's not common for them to lean, it does occur.
