[Scriptoris] Fw: [SCA_S&I] Merrifield's Treatsies on the Art of Painting

[Emma Fairwyll]

Many Thanks for a marvelous opportunity to own a valuable source of
information.  While checking it out I also found a few other OOP reprints
which sounded awesome-among them one I ordered was:
" 120 Great Paintings from Medieval Illuminated Books Platinum DVD and Book"
for references.
With much Appreciation,
