Bad writing
Is it bad writing?
Bad handwriting in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries is as annoying to the reader as bad handwriting today. There is little that the palaeographer can do with a case of very sloppy handwriting except deplore it.
If this hasn't solved the problem try another option:
Capital letters
Interference
Superscript marks
Double letters
Ligatured letters
Idiosyncratic letters
