Reading an entire page of that, weathered, with shaky hand-writing, must be a herculean task.

It's like reading in another, non-native language with different symbol system.
For example, as hard as reading any hand-writing from Eastern Asia or Arabic for those who learned only Cyrillic or Latin alphabets.

It's called "Старо-славянский" ("Old-Slavonic"), got spread from approx. IX-XI centuries... IMO it looks more like Cyrillic, stylized as Old-Slavonic.
Remnants of Old-Slavonic still used in those huge Holy Bibles at ortodox churches.

This is stylized to Old Russian, its hardly readable at first glance and probably Lubok parody.

It would be perfect is someone could stylize it to Old English ("thou").
