Bookplate
« on: April 24, 2023, 03:55:57 AM »
This wonderful, medieval bookplate was written at a time when books were handwritten, and were incredibly valuable. Don't say that you haven't been warned! It's written here in upright Italic with a Manuscript fountain pen.

Nicely written.

I'm glad the punishment for overdue books was only 2 cents per day in my youth.

Fantastic!

@Gary - it was TOTALLY written by a monk! as a warning to other monks! In the monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona.
