Is this all?
editI have barely found any source on the internet to extend this article, but from my understanding,
Paillasson's article for the Encyclopedia describe three cursives: Ronde, Bastarda and Coulée. Only the former is upright. But Paillasson's Ronde is very peculiar to my modern eye, as it uses many less cursive or no longer used forms. By the mid-19th century however (as seen on documents from this era), the Ronde was much different (closer to typefaces like French Script MT/Typo Upright), in a way resulting from the merger of the previous 3 cursives. Many of the forms used were closer to former Bastarda/Coulée forms, although the script was upright.
This Ronde 2 was used side to side with English cursive (roundhand?), and at some point they merged into the modern, upright french cursive, which I'll call Ronde 3 (probably around the beginning of the ferry schools era), which is still used today.
If I find any source delving further into this I'll update the article --77.205.117.71 (talk) 19:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
