Jewelry catalog book of Herzogin Anna of Bavaria painted by Hans Mielich. Here's just a sample

Recently I've been playing around with the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library Digital Online Image collection.


One of the really cool manuscripts that they have online is the Scribal pattern book of Gregorius Bock, MS 439. Swabia, ca. 1510-1517

Here is the descriptive catalog entry for the manuscript This includes which scripts are used on which pages, this information is not included in the manuscript. The scripts run from basic book hands, bastards, decorative capitals, color work, its really quite inspiring!

Feel free to pass these links on to any lists or people that you feel could use this information, but please give proper credit for the find.

So I don't lose these period handwriten manuscripts that I'm going to use as a reference to create the hands with which to write ABC and Our Father with
