Glorious Handwriting Day!

I wondered how long it would take me to handwrite one of my chapters. And ouch! I give up. It's lovely, and meditative, but that is not as easy as it seems. I'll manage it one day. Just not today.

It does seem fun to add the letters within the novel as handwritten in there.

Wow, I've never thought about the links between the #typefaces we use and #Renaissance #handwriting.

Quoth writer and scholar Ada Palmer: 'It’s #HandwritingDay so I thought I’d share a thread about Renaissance handwritten documents I worked with in the research that led to “Inventing the Renaissance,” and the best and worst scripts I’ve ever seen.'

Happy belated #handwritingday Re-reading "The Daily Stoic" by Ryan Holiday by writing out parts of each page every day. My nice Sailor with Diamine Oxford Blue on paper from Pelikan pen hub night

Apparently it is #handwritingday so here is a photo from a book I took a many years ago in a museum in Switzerland

@adapalmer a fait un chouette fil sur les écritures manuscrites à la Renaissance pour le #handwritingday
Alors j'ai envie de vous mettre quelques annotations/ajouts manuscrits tirés de mes derniers séjours en bibliothèque. Transportons-nous un instant au XVIIIe :

  • Note personnelle sur un volume de Mémoires sur Ninon de Lenclos, dans un recueil factice de la collection Jammet
  • Page de titre de Lettres de Ninon de Lenclos. Vous ne voyez pas la mention manuscrite ? Le I de la 2e partie a été rajouté à la main ! Une seule page de titre a été imprimée pour le tome 1 et le tome 2. Les 3 exemplaires que j'ai consultés ont cette correction manuscrite.
  • Annotation avec révélation des clés de l'ouvrage
  • Une de mes pires jusque là : note manuscrite en début d'ouvrage dont l'encre a particulièrement bavé... 😱
