Different capital Hs in a text?
Recently a friend of mine sent me a page from an old bible with a special dedication since it was a gift for a newlywed couple. So I started do decipher it and since I only know Sütterlin my first question: Is this Kurrent or Sütterlin just with a very bad handwriting?
Then I managed to make out some words and when I had all words in the last line, I typed it into my search engine. Since it seems to be a known german poem, I then had the full text.
The full translation is as follows:
Wie einer liest die Bibel
So steht seines Hauses Giebel
Herr dein Wort die edle Gabe
Wolltest du erhalten mir,
denn ich es jeder Habe,
Auch dem größten Reichthum für.
Wenn dein Wort nicht mehr soll gelten,
Worauf soll der Glaube ruhn'?
Mir ists nicht um tausend Welten,
Aber um dein Wort zu thun!
So far so good, but since I knew the text I was confused of how some letters were written. Especially the capital H doesn´t seem neither consistent nor logical.
These words should read as Herr, Hauses and Habe, but all their Hs are written differently and neither of them looks like a capital H from a Kurrent alphabet. In the word Herr it rather looks like lowercase h and the e also seems to be written as capital letter?
Are there different styles to write an H or do you have any idea why it was written this way?
