Description
Historical note:
The Bastard Secretary Hand represents a variation of the Bastard hand, a reform of the court hand, developed in the early 14th century by the Scriptores Litere Curialis (writers of the court letter) in an attempt to reform the by-now deteriorated standard court hand. The Bastard Secretary variation was so called by 16th century writing masters, and was in use through the late 14th and 15th centuries in England
