Late Gothic Script

Abstract

Surveying Late Gothic scripts of the Netherlands, the author acknowledges similarities to the scripts of its eastern and southern neighbors in the late medieval period, while calling attention to some distinctive features of the scripts of the northern Low Countries. He discusses the defining characteristics of Dutch textualis, cursiva, and hybrida scripts and illustrates them with many examples.
