Here is a little story about the #earlymodern emoticon "<3" and the complex symbolic meaning of this typographical entity that I posted yesterday. Follow me, for catholic symbolism and some #bookhistory, dear #skystorians of the blue skies. Here we go... [contains quote post or other embedded content]

@dbellingradt wow! Do you know what the rest of de heading means or refers to?
@latlondev that’s a longer story. Might write this down in the future.

@dbellingradt

Any comments on the rest of the heading and it's meaning?

@Madagascar_Sky that’s a more complicated and longer story.
@dbellingradt Might be a lowercase omega?
@kbm0 @dbellingradt That’s a crossed-epsilon ampersand. It was a common form in handwriting, and was used in print for a while before the more modern form of ampersand took over.
@bob_zim Thank you! The wonderful thing about this platform is that even if you spout some speculative nonsense, someone who knows the answer is likely to turn up and correct you!

@kbm0 Ampersands are one of my favorite characters in physical type because there are so many forms, and very few of them look anything like the modern printed form.

My personal favorite when I’m writing is a large lowercase epsilon with a little cross at the lower terminal, turning it into an “Et”, like the lower ampersand on this type specimen:

@bob_zim @kbm0 I love the asterism ⁂ and not just for the dirty jokes.

@dbellingradt Whoever set this had quite the repository. My goodness. Gothic, Roman, several sizes, traditional S, at least two forms of medial S, plus sharp S, what looks like a ch ligature in a bunch of places …

It’s also interesting how the grammar of what I can read is practically modern German. I just have trouble distinguishing some of the letterforms. Gothic type is so awful for legibility.

@dbellingradt It's a pity that the text is covered, but anyways it starts by saying something like "More reveals itself the often thought Most Holy Secret also in the shape of the human heart, then so [?] a 3 [pointing down], which means as much as Trinum [...] Unum [...]". I guess Unum and Trinum are the reason for the i and the 3 at the top, but I'm not able to understand the meaning of that variation of HOMO ("man" in Latin)
@dbellingradt BTW, it must be an Austrian text, because at the very top it says "Oesterreichisches Deo Gratias". And yes, @bob_zim is right: there are even two different "r"s in that Fraktur typeface
@dbellingradt Oops, I didn't realize you are a German native speaker and a historian specialized in books :-D
@dbellingradt
oh, and let me keep on guessing: in HOMO the H and the Os are barred so as to focus the reader's attention on the M, that is below the i and 3, i.e., below Unity and Trinity, and contains the intermediate 2 (which looks like a z), as in M is made up of 2 opposing 1s (maybe the 2 genders?)

@dbellingradt
that's fascinating! So the z remains to be explained. I would make sure
a) there's no hint in the text, and
b) it cannot be a 2 in any of the typefaces used.
If so, only z and N remain, with z not a truly Latin letter, maybe the initial of some non-Latin name or word
@dbellingradt I see in BS that the answer has been given by Paul White! It's a 2, and the i is indeed (also) a 1. So:
1 over I[nitium]
2 over V[erbum caro factum]
3 over I[gnis]
@waltertross that’s likely correct, yes.

@dbellingradt vaguely related anecdote, my grandmother's Scottish birth certificate has a little heart instead of the dot over the i in her name.

I was somewhat shocked to see that on a formal document. Which I have for the very formal 'prove you have UK ancestry' stuff.
