Implications of the continuity of Currier "languages"

[ReneZ]

With respect to humanist handwriting, my understanding is that this developed in the early 15th Century in or around Florence, and gradually spread out from there. At the instigation of Petrarca's writing about 'writing',  Poggio really started this new trend in the 1410-1420 time frame.


So, indeed, by the time the Voynich MS was most likely produced, it would have been in its infancy, and it is rather unlikely that any significant writing using this script would have been available to the MS creator(s).

I used it as an example, and instead could or should have used Carolingian minuscule as a more likely example from the time perspective.
