Expanded from articles in Drawing and Design, this book teaches the craft of the illuminated manuscript. Farnsworth considers the influence of the tool, the history of writing, the cutting and use of the pen, the forming of letters, words and sentences, and the laying and burnishing of gold, with historic alphabets and quotations from medieval recipes.
