Are people interested in those, too? I don't know of a web site, maybe somebody else does. If not ... I could put something up on my web page. I have an exhibition catalog with several pages writing from the codex including some very nice close ups, both of the calligraphy and of the pictures. "Close ups" as in 'you can see the different layers of paints applied'.

I thought this might be of interest to folks: it's an article from _Scientific American_'s "Discovering Archaeology" website. A quote from the first paragraph reads: What may be the oldest metal-point sketches - drawings in an early version of pen and ink - have been discovered hidden under the texts and elaborate embellishments of the famous Lindisfarne Gospels manuscripts of Britain. The whole of the article is located at: http://www.discoveringarchaeology.com/articles/063000-pen.shtml Also of interest may be this link, http://cbc.ca/cgi-bin/templates/view.cgi?/news/2000/07/11/archimedes000711 which is about part of a manuscript restoration challenge. - --Elianora Mathewes ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 08:15:07 -0500 From: "Helen Schultz" Subject: Re: [scribes]: Manesse Calligraphy YES....YES....YES..... - ----- Original Message ----- > The Manesse Picture site didn't have any of the calligraphy pages.
