Sorry... 1546 is a mid-16th century not 15th...

1546 is the index number of the book in the cologne library, not a year...

I would say, bastarda, because the gothic current is more difficult to read (god!) I can check it.
I'll come back

Hm... thanks a lot for spending thought on it. I guess you're right - but I find it similar to an example in Fritz Funke's "Buchkunde" ("Book science"), which he (Funke) identifies as 15th century current. The sample in the book looks just _slightly_ more like fluid writing, and after Codex Coloniensis 1546 is not a real manuscript codex but rather a list of participants in a brotherhood ("Bruderschaft zur lieben Frau" - "Brotherhood of the dear Woman"), I classified it as Current.
And the letters are definitely more rounded than ones of French 15th century Bastarda.
Any hints?

Well, I must look in my books and notes, but I can't remember where I saw such alphabet.
The difficulty is that Bastarda is a gothic current! But not really the same as what is called Gothic Current (GC). The GC is more... well with so much features more... I must find out !
