I just found your channel today after having recently caught the dip pen nib obsession. It's so refreshing to find such conversational, informative, and well-produced videos. I feel like I'm in your scriptorium with you. Now I have both a guide and a model to aspire to. Thanks from Albuquerque.

[@marcydoyle9279]

I think you are absolutely gorgeous (you remind me of my daughter in-law) and even though this all seems a bit daunting, I am very interested in buying some of these recommended books. Thank you.

[@kamilaszymanska8115]

This is a happy Sunday as I watched your tutorials for the first time. Such joy! I love especially the historic background you mention in the tutorials and now I will have plenty tips to read some more. Thank you!

[@reznaellis6815]

Thank you, Maydi. I've watched this video at least three times. It's helped me build my library and feed my love for medieval calligraphy.

Thanks for promoting our book ! And glad to ear that you've enjoyed it !

[@apollo-iy8hy]

[@Chisumpa]

I have most of the same books except the large Bestiary, I will certainly put that on a wish list.👍

[@SolisScriptorivm]

These books are indeed excellent!

[@NigelCamden]

I just bought the Marc Drogin book and spilt a whole bottle of ink over it. I didn’t know until the morning so it glued all the pages together! I’ve unstuck them but for a new book it looks like it’s come out of a dungeon☠️I love the channel btw. I also ordered the illuminated manuscripts 😊

[@Cyriljayant]

Thank you 😊

[@lisap5615]

Thank you so much for all this great information about medieval calligraphy books. It helped me figure out what books would help me to get started. I also ordered a book called Celtic Hand Stroke by Stroke: Irish Half-Uncial from The Book of Kells , by Arthur Baker. It looked so interesting. I really love the look of the uncial styles. I am so excited to start learning:)

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I am so happy to hear this! I have heard many good things about that Arthur Baker book. I should try it out someday!

[@akshata892]

[@yulie4JackWild]

This was soooo helpful and informative! I have a big project in mind involving medieval illuminated manuscripts and this has rekindled my motivation to get that started.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

I'm so happy to hear that!

[@davidmolloy126]

Thanks very much for another great video. The medieval cookbook sounds really good and I'm looking forward to the next video that shows it. My favourite book from your gorgeous collection is the bestiary as they had some very strange ideas in those days! Take care, x

[@SolisScriptorivm]

It is such a fun book! I already made a video making some of the recipes ("Making a Medieval Christmas Dinner"). And I agree, the Bestiary is truly spectacular. That one and the Marc Drogin calligraphy one are my favorites.

[@timcmiles]

Thank you! This is wonderful! I am just now stepping upon this magical path! I too, am immensely drawn to medieval calligraphy, especially illuminated manuscripts. It’s all I want to do! I have several of the books that you mentioned. Based upon your selection, It’s good to know that I seem to be on the right track! I am really looking forward to acquiring the bestiary! I am really excited about this journey! Thank you, for the inspiration and the excellent information that you share! Keep them coming!

[@ChristainMecha]

Girl, you are really so very good at this 💟👍 Dios te Cuide

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Gracias! 😊

[@calladricosplays]

I LOVE the medieval bestiary. The Getty did a whole exhibit about it with shows and photo backdrops! They even made a plush based on a beast (25 percent off their online store on Black Friday). It was a dream come true. If I ever cosplay or play DND I plan to name my character Caladri after the Caladrius. I'm also looking forward to the game Inkulinati. Maybe they can sponsor you
