"Pontanus" when used by Bohemians usually refers to the city of Most. People born there, or descending from famous people born there, for example.
Many unrelated people would call themselves Pontanus. -

Yes, this is just the reference to the origin, like "Mstoviensis" or other similar designations mentioned above in the thread.
Most means bridge in Russian, guess the same is in Czech. Pons is bridge in Latin. -

Here are two more signatures, from unpublished documents, and unfortunately I cannot give the sources.
They are useful comparison material for the one on MS #40 and the one found by Jan Hurych.

Yes, indeed, very similar, with the exception of the "T" which is uncharacteristic in #40.
