Yes, thank you. And thanks for the discussion. El 22 jun 2018, a las 17:56, Peter Baker psb1558@users.sourceforge.net escribió: Using a sigma is an okay solution. The current version of Junicode (1.001) doesn't have one. Would it help if I added it?

I do agree that it seems a sigma; actually, at Innsbruck University, where they’re working on a complete, very accurate TEI-transcription of the whole codex, using Junicode (which, by the way, is simply excellent!), they use sigma here, as they told me. And we do have a secretary hand here, as we know the scribe of this literary manuscript to be a secretary of the Austrian emperor Maximilian. I’m not satisfied with the sigma (Greek letters are rare), but I admit that maybe it is the best solution....

Of course: take for example image 29 / fol. 6 recto, column a, lines 18–26 (second paragraph, marked with red initial E): line 18: was (end of the line) line 19: es (3rd word) line 20: las (1st word) line 22: tichtens (3rd word) line 24: vleiss (1st word) + was (1st word) I chose this paragraph, because here this type of s appear much more frequently than in other parts of the same column. This type of s mostly in final position. Interesting is also Column b, line 15, first word: liess, with long...

Thanks for your answer: I understand your skepticism with the cursive. I didn’t mean that I would need a cursive letter in the sense that it fluently connects with other letters. I was referring to the SHAPE of the letter (https://goo.gl/images/WFxQNX https://goo.gl/images/WFxQNX). I thought that, in the same way there are other letters with different shapes (like +A75B "Latin small letter r rotunda”), an ’s’ with a shape of the one used in cursive handwriting, even if it is not cursive, could be...

I'm sorry for this. Actually, what I need is a form of cursive ’s’ that we use in handwriting (see below). Because I’m working on a 16th century manuscript that distinguishes this form of ’s’ from the normal ones: round ’s’ or long ‘ſ’. And I only find this type of ’s’ in some special ‘handwriting’-fonts.
