Description
This
translation
of the
Bible
was
made
by
Jerome
at the
request
of
Pope
Damasus
.
It
was
begun
in the
year
382
A.D
. and
finished
16
years
later
. For his
great
scholarship
more
than for his
eminent
sanctity
,
Jerome
was
later
made
a
saint
. This
version
of the
Bible
was his
most
important
work
. The
angular
book
hand
,
executed
with
amazing
skill
and
precision
,
reflects
the
spirit
of
contemporary
architecture
of the
early
13th
century
.
Closely
spaced
perpendicular
strokes
and
angular
terminals
have
supplanted
the
open
and
round
character
of the
preceding
century
.
It
is
a
beautiful
book
hand
but
exceedingly
difficult
to
read
. The
quills
used
in
writing
were
obtained
from the
wings
of
crows
,
wild
geese
, and
eagles
. To
keep
them
sharp
and their
strokes
of
uniform
width
required
skill
and
great
sensitivity
in
hand
pressure
.
It
would be
difficult
to
imitate
or
approximate
the
fine
details
even
with the
special
steel
lettering
pens
of
today
.
