Announcing a Very Special Member Program!

The Development and Evolution of English Roundhand Through the Centuries

We are delighted to announce a series of 12 online lectures with Sybille van Zuylen—creator of the Penna Volans website, an amazing resource for the study of writing masters and copybooks—as she takes us on a journey that spans several centuries and delves into the lives and letters from the Era of the Writing Masters.

Throughout the year 2022, Sybille will be presenting one live lecture per month as she traces the origins and branches of writing that coalesced into the English Roundhand. Members will receive handouts and be able to ask questions. These monthly lectures—which we expect will last at least 12 lectures and possibly more—will be presented live online and also be recorded for later viewing, all exclusively for members of the Society of Scribes, beginning January 2022.

If you’ve ever wondered about the calligraphers behind the Universal Penman and the writing masters who influenced them, this is your opportunity to become educated and inspired!

Join Society of Scribes now to access the live lectures and recordings of past ones!
