AJT Illuminated Manuscript, 3

I’ve completed the calligraphy of this, the first of a series of illuminated manuscripts of my Homeric poem, The Atternen Juez Talen, recounting the thoughts and journeys of the Eternal Jew. This manuscript is 156 pages, which seems long, but it’s only the opening scenes of the poem.

I am now working on the illustrations and illuminations that decorate the text. The first illustrations I’ve completed are portraits in the border. There are 21 in all. Below I present a slideshow of a few of them.
