Description
This was an experiment to use feather quill pens to write with.The script roughly represents a 14th century texualis
The text (I used many abbreviations):
Rex [est] mortuus.
Numerus pluriu[m] morti [est]
in senatus vitae.
Iactat[i]o negotiato[rum] plu[m]bi
submouit sile[n]tiu[m];
sile[n]tiu[m] pestile[n]tiae
q[uod] nocte lunae n[obis]cu[m]
rapet futuram.
Medicus cum rostro
n[on] [est] sacerdo[s];
[et] sacerdo[s] pagi
n[on] [est] medicus.
Et igitur rex uiuit.

Same comment as on your other piece (sloping letters). You look comfortable with the hand. All you need to do is concentrate on keeping the letters vertical. You have great talent using a Gothic hand and making it look natural. Intra-word spacing is fairly consistent as is the inter-word spacing. The finial is a nice touch.

Concentration wasn't really a thing I could afford on this quick-job... I just don't move anything to scraps because it may end up unseen
As on "Gloria exsecutori domini", you're definitely right, and the clockwise attitude of the letters is stronger on this piece. A good hint to consider for the next time!
