Re: Re: VMs: Re: VMS, languages and Jacobus signature
Hi Rafal,
I guess that the letters in "our signature" of Tepenecz are more on the side of
cursive, than that of fracture script - after all the connections between some
letters are clearly visible - and the additional text is even more on the side
of cursive. As for your suggestion: have you seen another book "signed" by
Horczicky? It woudl really help our research in spite of the fact that we would
rather settle for oficially autenticated signature that we have than the sole
name of Horczicky in another book, which may have been written by anybody, as
the case may be with his name in the VM anyway. By the way, our document was not
written in German but in Czech language :-).
Regards,
Jan
