You are probably right. So, I shall re-phrase my opinion: "From the point
of view of the writing technique, the writing of the Vms. is entirely
compatible with the _moderna_ tradition".
I know that I tend NOT to look beyond strokes and substrokes (I like those
terms); even worse, I do that *intentionally*! This is how we were taught
to look at writings and I understand the reasons for it (very off-topic to
be explained here). Luckily, trainings, knowledges and 'tastes' within this
group are diverse enough to cope with these limitations.
