....manuscript art / calligraphy...... Christian Iconography is an incredibly rich visual vocabulary....

Illuminated manuscripts make up a considerable part of the history of art and in their scenes of sacred history inspired painters, sculptors, goldsmiths, ivory workers, etc.....illumination is one of the most charming art forms ever conceived.

Most famous example is the Book of Kells an illuminated manuscript of the Gospel created in Ireland probably around 800 AD.
