Quote:Yes, that's already been discussed above. The question is: was that common in German language manuscripts? Are there any characteristic examples?

Quote:This is a bit confusing, because now, German is the general name and that is considered to be Hochdeutsch. Around 1400-1500 however, "German" as it exists now, did not exist as Standarddeutsch. There were only different dialects depending on the region. But please feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

This looks like (if you squint hard enough): "malhar allar lut3 hest vitellum" ... with maybe some faint characters afterwards.
The obvious interpretation is as a puzzling multi-language instruction to "beat all your best yellow yolks" - perhaps in order to make a desert using the plant depicted on the same folio?
- malhar - (Portugese) meaning "strike" or "thresh"
- allar - (Icelandic) meaning "all"
- lut3 - (Latin) Luteum meaning "yellow". The short line above the "t3" is a macron, and scribes in medieval times usually used it to indicate an abbreviation, most commonly a missing "m" or "n". The "3" itself can mean a missing "ue".
- hest - (Latin) meaning "best"
- vitellum - (Latin) meaning "yolk"

Hest - Latin?
That's what Google Translate gave me, but indeed I'm drawing a blank in my Latin dictionary.
