Books On Writing And Calligraphy From 450 Years Ago

Recommended Posts

I went to NYC for the 1st time last January. Loved every single minute in that fantastic city, even the outstading experience of the greatest blizzard since 1869!

 

I visited the MET Museum three times in five days, since I wanted so badly to see Rembrandt's paintings. In the first day (January 23th) the museum closed earlier because of the blizzard. The next day many of the museum employees were not able to work because of the snow, but on Monday, my last day in the city, I could see what I wanted.

 

I also saw and took these pictures to post here that I was able to do today. Books on writing and calligraphy from the 17th and 16th centuries:

Great photos, thanks for sharing them. I tend to focus my time in the Met elsewhere and did not even make it there this time.

Hi Uncle Red.

 

What do you mean by "this time"?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
