The Tepenecz signature in book no. 4: a concern

[J.R Moore]

The signature on the legal document does not match well with the handwritings on the books, which made me wonder the first time I saw it if a notary or attorney had signed on his behalf (it is in notarial style—I mean "notarial" in the general sense, not in the specific palaeographical-names sense).

This seems to be the simplest and most likely explanation in that case.
