The most elusive writing in the MS
#12
Yes, the last letter "R" looks strange here. Or, maybe, rather, low case "a"s are strange, if we imagine a real inscription on an apothecary jar. All the inscriptions wholly were written with capitals.

I don't know whether drug jars contained full names of apothecaries or parfumers, I know only that the most valuable collections contained initials and the coat of arms of an apothecary, and a date.
Later I'll try to mark lines when I get  my notebook.
