Synopsis
During the Medieval period, scribes produced some of the most beautiful illuminated manuscripts the world has ever seen. Here, John Lancaster offers a complete practical introduction to seven of the formal writing styles used during the Middle Ages, describing the materials and techniques and advising how to achieve the best results. Basic letter formation is explained using the author's own line drawings as a guide, and the finished result is demonstrated in examples from authentic manuscripts.
Those with some experience in calligraphy will find that this book offers a wider range of unusual writing styles and an insight into the skills of early calligraphers.
