GOLDMAN, Prop'r, I —— EARLY BOOKMAKERS THE FINE ART OF THE MONKS OF THE MIDDLE AGES. Written and Illuminated Work* That Were Marvel* of Skill and Industry—Anglo-Saxon Monk* Orig inated the It oina ii Letter. There is scarcely any error so popu lar, yet so unfounded, as that which Invariably attributes unbounded Indo lence to the monastic orders of former •lays. To them we owe the preserva tion of literature, both in the pains they took to perpetuate history by their la- IK>.*J in transcribing and by their dili gence In the education of youth. In the large monasteries a chamber was always set apart for writing, al lowing space in the same apartment for other quiet employments also. The transcribers were superintended by the abbot, prior, subprior and precentor of the convent and were distiugulahed by the name of "antlquaril." These in dustrious persons were coutlnually oc cupied in making new couies of old manuscript books for the use of other monasteries, and by this means many were educated and our most valuable historical records were preserved. The Anglo-Saxon monks were most celebrated as writers and were the originators of the small roman letter used in modern times. The greatest •delicacy and nicety were deemed es sential In the transcribing of books, whether for the purpose of general In struction or for the use of the convents. Careless and Illegible writing Is therefore but seldom to be met with among the remains of monastic Indus try. and when erasures were made they appear to have been done with the utmost care and skill. For this purpose the monks used pumice stone, and they were also provided with a punctorium, or awl, to make the dots and with metal pens for writing until 'after the seventh century, when quills were brought Into use, they being far better than the metal pens then In use. The Inks were composed of lamp black soot mixed with water and gum for use upon the vellum, paper not be ing Introduced until the tenth century; hence the beautiful distinctness, ntK well as durability, of very ancient manuscript books. So important was the art of writing in those days that It is conceded as many as 100 different styles were in vogue among the learn ed. With so many Impediments to the multiplication of books as were at tendant upon their slow production In this manner, It Is not a matter of sur prise that the monks enjoyed almost a monopoly of this kind of labor, as in truth they were the only body of men who could properly conduct It. The expense of preparing books was pro verbially great, and large estates were frequently set apart for the purpose of purchasing them. In addition to the i cost of transcribing, the materials of i which books were composed were sources of great expense. The leaves In many Instances were composed of | purple vellum for the purpose of show j lug off to more advantage letters of gold and silver. The binding was often very gorgeous, although of rude con struction. The prevailing covering for books was a rough white sheepskin pasted on a wooden board, with Im mense bosses of brass, but the ex terior of those lnteuded for church service was inlaid with gold relics or silver embossed on Ivory plates. Some books had leaden covers and some had i wooden leaves, but even as early as this bindings In velvet with silver clasps and studs were made as pres ents for exalted personages. Illuminating manuscripts was also another occupation of the monks of the middle ages, although not confined to them, for the greatest painters of the day disdained not to contribute to theso cumbrous and sometimes confused dec orations. The art of correct drawing and a knowledge of perspective cannot, however, be ascribed to the generality of the fantastic pictures by which illu minated books are adorned. Coloring and gilding appear to have been the ehie( points to which the attention of the Illuminations was directed. The neutral tint was tirst laid on somewhat In the same mode us In the present day, some portions being left untouched In order to be afterward Imbedded In gjltl and silver. The pictures represented different subjects, according to the na ture of the book which they were In tended to embellish. The title on the i pages was formed of capital letters of ! gold and azure mixed. Illuminated plc i tures are-of a dazzling brightness, tho white predominating, which, not being an oil color, reflects the rays of light and does not absorb them. So much custom had the monks In their labors of transcribing and Illuminating that i they were sometimes obliged to Intro duce hired limners, although contrary j to the monastic rule In general, but such aids were seldom resorted to, the monk 3 being usually the only laborer.. The invention of printing diminished | the importance and annihilated the profits of writing, and In 1400 that of engraving superseded the art of Illu minating.—New York Herald.
