Ah! Thank you Helmut!
So the long stem belongs to the top line Adj rather than to the second line.
That makes much more sense. I couldn't figure out if the j (final "i") was "l" or "h" in the second line, but it doesn't belong to the second line at all, it's part of the first line. I was not familiar with "Adj".
Regenspurg (Regensburg) makes much more sense. It was one of the centers of publishing (and of book lovers) in the late medieval period. I had a feeling it was a place name but couldn't figure out which one had a long ascender (which turns out to be a descender from the line above).
...
The straight stem "e" and straight stem "c" are less common but I have seen them on rare occasions and at least this writer uses them somewhat consistently. I didn't recognize the straight stem "e" at first, but now I see it.
