Subject: Beautiful!

This book has gorgeous examples of medieval calligraphy. You do not see work like this today. This is done by hand. What is done by computer all looks the same. Handcrafted is so much more elegant. Nothing compares!

Thank you so much Getty Research Institute and American Libraries for hosting this book. Thank you melody-levin for uploading it.
