Some random comments:
  • ‘e’ is variable, but the general type is the spiked one we are looking for;
  • ‘p’  has the correct open top;
  • ‘b’ and ‘l’ have narrow ascenders (which is not a common feature in the 15th century);
  • the ‘st’ ligature has the simple arch that also occurs in ‘augst’;
  • ‘g’ has the right shape and appears to be traced in a similar way, but the right-hand side is almost always open, it looks like '5'; Koen pointed out that it's similar to You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and I totally agree;
  • ‘a’ and ‘t’ are peculiar and different from the Voynich months;
  • initial ‘M’ is also very close (it appears in the second line of 1r).
