My question is: Does anyone know of any manuscripts that have purple and/or green in them in large amounts. I have only been able to find touches of purple in all the books I've searched. Either way I'm going to use these colors since it is my own personal scroll, but it would be nice to know if there is any period precedent for these colors being dominant (in contrast to the normal red and blue dominance). -- Lady Mylisant de la Croix Barony of Grey Niche, Meridies Purpure, two natural seahorses addorsed on a point pointed argent a crescent inverted sable and on a chief triangular >> You might try looking at Italian rennisance scrolls but they won't be bars and Ivy. entire vellum is dyed purple and you could go from there-JimBear ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 09:24:02 EDT From: FITCHYBEAR@aol.com Subject: Re: [scribes]: James and Ghislaine going offline...

Good gentles, I come to you again for assistance. The AoA scroll I'm working on is d*#% near done and I just found out I left a word out of the blazon. After a panicky call to a good scribal friend, I've decided to use a drollery to fix it. I seem to recall seeing one with a little demon (?) pulling the word into place. I say demon because he had a pointed tail, which I *think* was pointing to where the word should go. I can't find any examples in the books I have, but am betting that some of you have references with a similar style correction. I'm thinking of using a mouse to "pull" the word, since a mouse is on the recipient's heraldry (and it is the color of the mouse that is the missing word!) To be *very* specific: Is the figure pulling a line leading to the word, or directly on the word itself? If there is a line, does it go underneath the word or connect to the first letter? Or should the mouse be pulling directly on the letter, with a *very* long tail pointing to the correct location for the word? Hopefully awaiting your replies....
