Late night Italic practice – let me distract you from all inconsistencies with the pretty morning light. The text is the beginning of a letter from Prince Arthur to his promised wife Katharina of Aragon (yes, the one who later married Henry VIII, when said Arthur died very young at age fifteen). He wrote it when he was only twelf years old, in Latin, in a beautiful, most flowing hand, that looks like a sort of Cancellaresca with some archaic, more gothic features like a thick long s that is a bit more slanted than the rest of the lettering. :: Humanistische Kursive spät in der Nacht geschrieben, im morgendlichen Sonnenlicht fotografiert.
