Another landsknecty scroll! Written in Gothic Bastarde, because I felt that most closely matched the tiny writing in the exemplar itself. These sources (that I know nothing of exept that I have them in my possession) were sent to me when I asked Baron Gottfried about Landsknect Camp Life and how the troops were entertained. I sort of cobbled it together after that to make it appropriate for Agilmar.
A blank that I gave to Ary to write. I was not so confident in my ability to write that small at the point in time that I gave it to her, and she loves teeeeeny letters so, everyone is happy. Codex Claustroneoburgensis 3, 317f 271r 14th century.
I wasn't sure about posting this scroll. It should have llamas and not peacocks in it for all the drama it caused when it was given. But...It is a valid example of my work so therefore I will not completely trash the idea that I made it. From the Sforza Hours: Hours of the Virgin fol 54 r. The hand is also a Gothic Bastarde.
I especially LOVED that last scroll (the peacock one), and other people's melodrama does not diminish either is beauty of value!
ReplyDeleteI just went through your whole archive and am amazed! You do great work. My favourits are the red, blue and green ink awsome initials from elephant to beesties. What I also like very much are the scrolls you personalized to the recepient... you rock!
