The Syriac estrangelo script is generally found in the oldest manuscripts. It was gradually replaced among west Syrians by the cursive serṭo script. Over the centuries, however, it has remained a decorative script for calligraphic manuscripts and particularly for evangeliaries.

@Open_ITI Hi, the ornamental Hā at the bottom of your page is quite common. I've encountered it in some Maghrebi scripts but also in seemingly unrelated contexts, like this 17th(?) century icon from Beirut (note also the ligature in والدة)
We're on the lookout for the odd, the weird, the Unicode non-compliant in Arabic script manuscripts, if you come across stuff that resists easy digital transcription take a screenshot and share it with us! openiti.org/2024/02/27/Hun…

@Open_ITI Hi, the ornamental Hā at the bottom of your page is quite common. I've encountered it in some Maghrebi scripts but also in seemingly unrelated contexts, like this 17th(?) century icon from Beirut (note also the ligature in والدة)
