Hi Magdalena:

That URL is the first time I have seen script on the net. Good show!

The letters look very much like the first choices Edna M. Bentz used in her book "If I Can You Can Decipher Germanic Records".

This URL gives me a chance to point out the fact that what may look like todays English letters are really something else even if the writing is very good.

For examples take a look at the C H and I on the first line, the M N and S on the second line, the U V W and X on the last line. In the lower case the m and n can look like an u, i & r, or s and i.
