This magnificent collection of Celtic scripts contains hundreds of initials and alphabets demonstrating a sweeping range of cursive pen strokes and decorative letters. The art of using initial letters to summarize the content of a book receives expert attention, as do unusual techniques such as the triquetra, a three-pointed knot; the diaper; the pelta, an abstract Celtic motif built out of triangles; and repeating geometric patterns.

This book tells you of the different origins of the calligraphy, but I would like to see some instruction on producing some the artwork.

I bought this for the examples from 'The book of Kells', and was surprised by all the information contained in the book. Very well done.
