That reminds me of certain kinds of medieval script. I had a professor in college whose dissertation made use of 12th century medical texts as primary sources.

That reminds me of certain kinds of medieval script. I had a professor in college whose dissertation made use of 12th century medical texts as primary sources. She told us about some of the frustrations with reading it. Calligraphic letterforms of the time use this basic form called a “minnum” (possibly not the correct spelling), possibly so called because the word “minimum” can be written in lowercase using them exclusively. I think you know where I might be going here. At one point, she went to her advisor for help, and he says in his broad, Scottish accent “Diane, count yer minna!” We all got a kick out of it. Edit: minimum -> minnum
