Re: [scribes]: Faux Hebrew? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 01:07:26 -0000 From: "Russell Husted" Subject: Re: [scribes]: Faux Hebrew? Anahita al-shazhiyya, Being the guy who writes arabic in such a way that it reads as english, I will answer your question. I know of two books with faux hebrew in them. I do not have one of them with me at this time but I do have the other. Lettering & Calligraphy Workbook, ISBN 0-8069-4273-8 , page 244 and 245. The other books was better. I found it in the childrens section at the library and is written by a reasonably well known calligraphy author for beginners. For layout samples there are many many sources, I just do not own them. Bibles and Bestiaries: A Guide to Illuminated Manuscripts, ISBN 0-374-30685-0, page 18 Please, if your friend wishes faux script, give him what he requests. We serve, and I thank you for taking the time to give him what he desires. your servant, mahee From: lilinah@earthlink.net To: scribes@castle.org Subject: [scribes]: Faux Hebrew? Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 22:28:06 -0800 I realize that faux scripts can be a touchy topic among scribes, BUT... A dear friend has a Jewish persona, and i wondered if anyone has come up with an attractive faux Hebrew calligraphic hand. I recall having a faux Hebrew bitmap font on my computer long ago, if i can find it on a dusty old floppy disk, i might be able to create one, but i don't have much time in the next few months, as i am going to be Kitchen Steward of my first feast, then i'll be out of the country for a month. And truly i was hoping for something more elegant... Any assistance will be appreciated, Thank you, Anahita al-shazhiyya =================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list, send email to with a blank Subject: line and unsubscribe scribes in the body of the message.
