For me, the definitive reading should follow from either a comparison with other text in the same script (made by someone with some qualifications in this area), or by a convincing reading of the majority of the text.
I have been hoping to find some handwritten text that is similar to this. There are hundreds (thousands?) of German MSs online, but I never found a very close match. One that seems to come rather close is this one:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
(One should look at several pages).
Characters that most usually are different from the text on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. are the 'd' and the 'p'. It is really quite rare to find any text that has these similarities.
Thank you, Rene!
Of course, this deserves a serious study, and I agree that a true paleographer would save us a lot of trouble!
Here is a comparison based on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
- Top row (in black) "amen"
- Bottom row (in red) "ave maria"
