[Scriptoris] Article on quills-was: Re: Curing feather quills

[Elaine Crittenden]

For those of you who can't go, I found an article on the care and feeding of
quills in THE CALLIGRAPHER'S HANDBOOK, edited by Heather Child, albeit that
my "newest" copy of two was copyrighted in 1985.

The article is by one of my earliest teachers,Donald Jackson, former scribe
to QEII and director and prime scribe and illuminator of the St. John's
Millenium Bible, which some of you have seen on PBS. The article is
generously illustrated by line drawings. Perhaps a copy might be found in a
used book store? I don't know if it has been reprinted.

BTW, the Bible mentioned above is coming to Tyler for an exhibition. I have
no info. Does anyone else?
