Re: Re: VMs: Medieval Cryptography Info

Hello   John,

I would not jump  to coclusion: the handwriting looks  like it was done by older person, for sure by somehow tired hand, but not necessarily by Rudolph.  Also, if it was an older  person, he may have  used some older script - Comenius in  the middle of the  17th century actually  still used unconnected script, so dating by handwriting only could be quite far off :-),
