[MR] scribal reference available

[Marybeth Lavrakas]

Back in 2006 I created a guide to writing the secretary hand based on Wm Panke's 1591 "A most breefe, easie and plaine receite for faire writing" along with rules and exemplars from other late period publications. I finally got around to putting a copy online, although I realized when I made the scan this morning that pages 20 & 21 are MIA! As Panke's work included a stroke by stroke explanation of how to form each letter, I hope scribes interested in doing late period scrolls will find this useful.
