Completed my illuminated manuscript of Psalm 93 in time for Mother's Day!

I used a modern variation of the Beneventan hand, which was most widely used in southern Italy in the middle ages. The historical script had lots of ligatures, but those are hard for modern readers, so I didn't use any here. This is also the hand where our modern question mark originated.

Side view detail of some of the illumination, with a cross filled with gold ink.

@paradoxmo This Sheaffer No-Nonsense fine point for the letters, and a felt-tip pigment liner for the rest. I used acrylic paint for the illustration, & for ink, a mix of PH Martin's and Higgins from Hobby Lobby. Nothing fancy!

@codrusofathens definitely a fountain pen! The No-Nonsense is pretty well liked by most people, simple but effective.

I'm now officially deprecating Calligraphy (Couldn't do it yet, but should happen in the next few days). I don't consider it worth maintaining anymore.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to it, and to @omglinux for publishing an article on it the day after its release!

In case someone is interested in taking over maintainership, I'm willing to consult and answer questions.

La tolerancia llegará a tal nivel qué a las personas inteligentes se les prohibirá pensar para no ofender a los idiotas.
-Fiodor Dostoievski.

Les pongo la frase completa porque de plano no logré encontrar ningún ángulo donde no se viera tan brillosa la tinta.
