Within its 160 pages there is a 40-page selection of these essays which has been made possible by a generous donation by the Manuscript Pen Co. This is a limited edition and will not be reprinted, and has been glued and sewn to strengthen it.
National Diploma in Calligraphy slide set - £12 (£14 overseas)
Historical slides sets 35mm
In association with the British Library Education Service, CLAS is delighted to announce four eagerly awaited historical slide rolls. The slides have been carefully selected for CLAS by Ewan Clayton, MA, with the assistance of Dr Michelle Brown of the British Library.
  • Slide Roll A (33 Slides) Late Antiquity to Carolingian Period
    This slide roll spans a period from the first century AD to the carolingian period. Amongst its highlights are slides of both writing and illuminating in the Vespasian Psalter, the Lindisfarne Gospels, The Book of Nunaminster and several great carolingian gospel books including the Grandvaal Bible. There are several examples of roman cursive hands, and good examples of uncials, half uncials, informal insular cursive and carolingian minuscule.
  • Slide Roll B (29 Slides) Late Anglo Saxon to Protogothic
    This slide roll concentrates on late Anglo Saxon Britain and follows through to the beginning of the gothic period. It shows examples of the classic English caroline hand (as in Harley 2904) and of simple built up capitals (versals). The slides also illustrate several styles of early medieval illumination; polychromatic pen drawings in Harley 603, the rich illumination of the Benedictional of St Ethelwold, and the elaborate yet naive style of the Silos Apocalypse from Spain. Other highlights include close ups of the hand of Edui Basan. The roll concludes with a fine protogothic manuscript.
  • Slide Roll C (23 Slides) The High Middle Ages
    This roll covers the period of the high middle ages. It contains examples of all the major kinds of gothic scripts and extracts of the writing and illumination in such manuscripts as the Evesham Psalter, the Luttrell Psalter and the Bedford Hours. There are also some fine examples of complex page layouts. The roll concludes with a musical manuscript written in a circular form.
  • Slide Roll D (33 Slides) The Renaissance
    This roll principally concerns scripts in Italy. It contains many good examples of cursive chancery hands and shows formal manuscripts written by, amongst others, Bartolomeo San Vito and Arrighi. The Arrighi manuscript is Royal 12 C viii, originally presented to Henry VIII, the slides also show details of its elaborate binding. Writing by the future queen Elizabeth I is shown and the roll concludes with slides of William Morris' manuscript 'The Rubyat of Omar Kyyam' in which he employs a script influenced by the hand of Arrighi.

The Slides are supplied in roll form, suitable for mounting as 2" x 2" slides. Each roll is despatched in a stout plastic tub, accompanied by short descriptive notes.

Prices include packing and postage (Air Mail Overseas). Slide rolls are £13 each (£15 overseas) or £54 for 4 (£64 overseas)

Cheques and bank drafts (drawn on a London Bank), or Visa and MasterCard credit card details should be made payable to CLAS and sent to CLAS Sales, Vivienne Hanreck, 50 Park View Road, London W5 2JB, UK, .
