Drop Cap September 2014

[Egg Bramhill]

I knew I had the original somewhere. Here is the charter in full size and the drop cap is at least six times larger than the accompanying text. I just love these old documents created by scribes and monks. How many hours were spent creating them? What if you made a spelling mistake?
Todays equivalant would be a 500 page document spat out by a laser printer in Times New Roman that no one will ever read.
