not me in the middle of three huge family and work crises and coping by reading through my old posts about museum paul and the last email exchange we had and thinking of the irreparable damage done to our relationship even if we improve it but also of the good things I have planned to do at work with the skills he taught me that I use everyday for objectives that are in the spirit of what he taught me and also the vastly improved interpersonal skills that I have/use everyday because of what he taught me and also of how he literally changed my life trajectory
anyway

Typography Tuesday
We return to our facsimile of a 16th-cnetury calligraphic manuscript, Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta, or Model Book of Calligraphy, written in 1561/62 by Georg Bocskay, the Croatian-born court secretary to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, and illuminated 30 years later by Flemish painter Joris Hoefnagel for the grandson of Ferdinand I, Emperor Rudolph II. The manuscript was produced by Bocskay in Vienna to demonstrate his technical mastery of the immense range of writing styles known to him. To complement and augment Bocskay's calligraphy, Hoefnagel added fruit, flowers, and insects to nearly every page, composing them so as to enhance the unity and balance of the page’s design. Although the two never met, the manuscript has an uncanny quality of collaboration about it.
Our facsimile was the first facsimile produced from the collection at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. It was printed in Lausanne, Switzerland by Imprimeries Reunies and published by Christopher Hudson in 1992.
