Did I mention developing a family tree for the family of Gothic scripts?
Perhaps a very small, undernourished one.....
Just read of Leonard Wagner's treatise in 1507-9 (no, I'm not going to type that name - I'm in a hurry) showing 100 variants, mostly Gothic, mostly Textura (to paraphrase what Marc Drogin is saying)
Sad .... (me, I mean) The most useful reference I've found so far is the Wikipaedia reference to BlackLetter. It's a starting point, and refers to some good (not to mention obvious) Mss. Wonder how much to trust it? (I don't, coz I don't know who wrote it, but it's a start)
