This week's work is a beauty--not for the layout of the leaf, but for the beauty of the cursive gothic bastarda.  Found among my lecture notes from a while back--perhaps some of you will remember this one?  For now, I don't remember the bibliographic details, but I can estimate the year fairly closely: within a generation after 1415.

Hint: this is one of those where you should start wherever you can.  I will have an educated guess as your your collective starting point: don't tell anybody where you began, okay?

Your forgery assignment: three contiguous lines, chosen at your discretion.

PS: it should probably go without saying that my own handwriting is not far off from a nice, cursive gothic bastarda such as you see above.  Here is a quatrain from a recent sonnet of mine, written with a nice, loose Bic Mark-It Ultra-Fine-Point:

As a friend once (semi-)famously upined, "neat yet illegible".

PPS: if you select my own handwriting as your forgery sample, I will either be flattered as can be, or will fail you viciously.
