General Information

Title Florilegium
Shelfmarks Antwerp, Rijksarchief te Antwerpen, Verzameling Losse Aanwinsten, nr. 2.11
Material Parchment
Date of Origin s. XIV
Script, Hands

Northern littera textualis currens (s. XIV), with certain tendencies towards a littera cursiva. The execution of the letter 'a' alternates between a double compartment letter 'a' (textualis) and a single compartment letter 'a' (cursiva). However, the latter may be the result of small and rapid writing. Furthermore the descenders of the letters 'f' and the straight 's' have a tendency to extend below the baseline (cursiva). Finally, in some cases, ascenders of the letter 'l' have loops (cursiva).
