Thanks for posting the link. This looks really cool. I've forwarded the link on because I know a lot a scribal people in the SCA who would probably be interested in seeing this as well.

Right on! Or should I say "Write On."

Following the links in the article, I also found a marvellous digitised book you can download as a PDF (if your German, or Google Translate, is up to it) at http://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/0001/bsb00019746/images/index.html?fip=193.174.98.30&seite=11&pdfseitex=

Some of the best pages are shown on https://publicdomainreview.org/collections/the-illuminated-sketchbook-of-stephan-schriber-1494/

but as a calligrapher (albeit a bad one) I'm glad I downloaded the full text, as the cadels illustrated are very good examples to copy.

Very cool. I like how some of the illustrations follow onto the reverse of the page (ie. flowers slipped through drawn cuts on the front).
