[Ansteorra] Powdered Ink?

[Stefan li Rous]

I'm not that familiar with modern calligraphy inks. What is an ink  
stone? Was this used in period?

Are you looking for a modern ink recipe or a period one? Are you using  
this ink on paper or parchment?

I do have these files in the SCRIBAL ARTS section of the Florilegium  
which might be of interest.
