An “encadenada algarabía”: multidimensional analysis of spacing, transformation and graphic expansion of Castilian cursive variants around 1600
Abstract
The wide range of handwritten cursive typologies from the second half of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century make up the context in which the domain of writing linked to the Castilian notarial public faith finds in the so-called “procesal encadenada” letter one of its most genuine and complex manifestations. Some of its graphic features and defining morphological characteristics are reviewed, such as the degree of separation between graphemes with an analysis that integrates per-spectives from analogic and digital calligraphy and the use of the digital microscope to carry out preci-sion measurements with outcomes that establish the foundations for a next and necessary in-depth re-view.
