Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the art of illuminating, a technique used by skilled scribes during the Middle Ages. The intricate lettering and decorative borders are beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors, capturing the essence of this ancient craft.

This snapshot from the sixth century AD offers us a glimpse into their world. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every stroke of ink seems to come alive under our gaze. It serves as a testament to the talent and patience required for such delicate work.
