Queen's Rapier almost done

That's right.  A few more times at doing the calligraphy and I got a copy I was happy with and it has the right spaces.  So I went and made a few copies of each the illumination and the calligraphy and played cut and paste.  I still need to make a final copy and type up an informative blurb.


The design is taken from "Verses about the Bleeding Host relic at Dijon" f. 2r, France: 1450-1499
