Handwriting of the Codex Seraphinianus

[RadioFM]

Has anybody with some expertise on the matter ever taken a look at the handwriting and calligraphy of the Codex Seraphinianus and analyzed it?
That kind of analysis has been done on the VMS, describing some of the handwriting as slanted and fast/fluid (at least w/ some hands) AFAIK, which has had some impact on the cipher question IMO.

I'd love to hear your (all) thoughts on the hwriting of the C.S., either as a whole or how it evolves over the pages.

I know this is not medievalia, but it seemed the proper subforum to post in given the common theme of handwriting style underlying the question. Feel free to move it mods

Why start a new thread?

I was about to post it on the ongoing CS thread, but I've figured that it could end up splitting it into 2 different parallel conversations and bury an informative exchange in a sea of unrelated comments, as often happened in older threads. That other CS thread shouldimho  stay focused on hard quantitative metrics, this thread is intended for a more subjective qualitative analysis

I am not a paleographer, but while working with Koen on researching parallels for Voynich You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. I have seen examples of Renaissance/Baroque Spanish notary scripts having an abundance of loops that made me think of Serafini’s script. This is of course totally subjective.

There is no question of authenticity (paleographer needed to date the ms.) or number of scribes, so I doubt that anyone has bothered to analyze the calligraphy and find tiny differences (if any) in handwriting between pages.

Thanks Marco! Appreciate the input.

I agree. Because some of the input about the handwriting in the VMS has some weight when considering what kinds of ciphers could have been used (assuming meaning), allowing for fast writing or at least quick and intuitive padding with null characters, I figured I could ask some of the more experienced people here what they think about the handwriting on an asemic text.
I don't recall the Gibberish after all? paper doing qualitative analysis of the handwriting samples they gathered (whether there were some awkward pauses or hesitations) - I know it was not the point of the paper, but I'm interested in comparing how the strokes of a meaningless text behave, whether there are some abrupt ending or such.
