The word calligraphy literally means beautiful writing. It is a fine art of skilled penmanship that is both a delight to the eye and an inspiration to the spirit. Before the invention of the printing press over five hundred years ago, this is the way books were made. Each copy was handwritten out by a scribe working in a scriptorium.
