Before you start trying to learn to write a specific calligraph ic script, get comfortabl e with the pen. I'm going to start this post by discussing how and why using these pens is different from modern round-tipp ed pens, and then suggest some practice exercises that will help prepare you for calligraph ic scripts. http://www.thepensivepen.com/2013/11/technique-practicing-with-pen.html Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:00:56 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=21397 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=21397 Recommenda tions on modern products for the SCA calligraph er. http://www.thepensivepen.com/2013/10/tools-materials-pens-inks.html Tue, 20 Feb 2018 19:58:41 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=21394 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=21394 This comprehens ive report represents a landmark in the publicatio n of medieval finds from excavation s in York.

These scribes often carried their pens (i.e., quills), pen knife, and ink bottles by hanging them from their belts. The box that holds the pens and knife is called a penner, and the bottle of ink is the inkhorn. When was it used, how was it used, what was it made of, what did it look like, and what was inside the penner? http://www.threadsofhistory.com/Eowyn/EowynsEncheiridion/ScribalTools.html Fri, 11 May 2007 12:09:47 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=14991 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=14991
