Another mention of "pox" in a 15th century manuscript
#2
Notice how the top line of the vowel curves a bit inward? And the final letter is a v-shape on a foot. So this says "ein per". We know by now how easily they changed b to p, so this is not ein pox but ein ber. Which does look a bit like the animal.
