Gothic scripts were all the rage in Europe in the 13th through 16th centuries. Today, they are a staple for SCA scribes. After briefly touching on the various types of Gothic, we will focus on the hand used in Catherine of Cleves, specifically folios 14v-16r. For those yearning for a more authentic appearance in their calligraphy, this “learning-to-look” class will show you little touches to look for in the manuscript and emulate in your own calligraphy.
