Capelli, was Re: VMs: Lettering and handwriting



It is very interesting that I happened across this very document a few weeks ago and was looking at it in relation to the Voy due to the similar characters.  The fact that this document is connected to Dee made it especially interesting.....
 
I had lost the URL after downloading some of the pages so THANK YOU for posting it.

Yes, it is full of abbreviations, and would be
a hard read for someone like me, without
experience. I wonder if someone with a copy of
Capelli (Gabriel?) could tell us what is the
meaning of the Eva-sh look-alike figure in this
case. The curl is very much like a figure 9,
which is also used as an abbreviation for -us.

Cheers, Rene
