Learn the ancient art of illumination and hand lettering to create beautiful journal pages, invitations and cards.

Illumination – the creation of elaborate, decorated letters and initials – reached its apogee in the monasteries of medieval Europe. Embellished with gold leaf, the illuminated letters of those early scribes seemed to reflect light, as though they were indeed 'illuminated'. This traditional art is now attracting new enthusiasts.

• The Bible of Illuminated Letters presents step-by-step instructions for recreating illuminated alphabets from six historical periods, including Celtic, Gothic and Romanesque.
Diagrams for upper- and lower-case letters are accompanied by ideas for borders and decorations, and full instructions for gilding.

• Each section also explores ways in which the illuminated letters can be adapted to create a truly personal style, while a gallery of modern examples will inspire further creativity.
