Trying to see examples of Johannes Hartlieb's handwriting

[MichelleL11]

In general though I don't think we can draw conclusions from someone's handwriting in German vs Voynichese. If his mind and muscle memory thought of the glyphs as different, they may turn out different.

Yes, l now agree with that.  Although l think potentially the 116v comparison holds greater weight, but admittedly there are lots of assumptions there, too. 

It’s worth trying to make the comparison between glyphs and handwriting but l think it’s more telling should something positive be seen rather than conclusive if there are little to no parallels.  There is plenty of evidence of a studied attempt at consistency for this invented script between the various scribes - certainly the differences that Lisa found were, to my amateur eye, quite small. Obviously these small differences speak much more loudly to an expert.

But this is one place where l think we can agree that the Voynich does not differ from usual approaches to handwritten manuscripts at the time - there was significant effort made to have the script be consistent.  Further, some of these consistent  characteristics run counter to the more “traditional” uses of the letters that the glyph shapes resemble.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is the leftward slant of the minims. That seems both consistent and unusual - although others who have seen more manuscripts may not agree with the “unusualness” of it.  Are there other characteristics like this that can be focused on for a potential comparison between handwriting and the glyphs?
