Is St. Cuthbert a late/early modern saint? If so then, IMO, your take on the
page format and calligraphic style may be right on.
Alas, I have been working on an illuminated hand calligraphic cookery
manuscript for 3 years and probably have many years to go before it is
finished. My inspiration comes from several 14th century books of hours.
It is a gift to myself as a repository for many of my personal redactions.
BTW, thanks for the site info. This book is not in my collection of early
modern works. Now it is. :-)
