Bibliodyssey

One of my favourite blogs is Bibliodyssey, and I am adding the link to Phosphorescence (below the moon on a WineDark Sea). The creator of this blog combs digital archives for images arcane, exotic and extraordinary. Here are some sparkly bits ...

A post on beastly botanicals.

'Ausberg. this manuscript features eccentric plant renderings and quite obviously refers to the Medieval herbal tradition ... the handwritten text is variously in Latin, German and Italian and the manuscript is made out of paper.'

  2. Thanks Jericho, if it is the Bibliodyssey post you are referring too, then it is an anthology of artists previously published in books. But there are some good links - Zeb Shine and also Silvia Huege de Serville - Aussie/New Zealand artists. Their work is wonderful.
