This is a bookmark I found.  I wrote a quotation on the back of the bookmark in pencil.  The writing was in Italic. So I think the the writing was done sometime in the last 70's.  I studied Calligraphy for one year  (1970 -1971) and really enjoyed this class.  I studied not only Italic script but also Blackhand and a Church script called  Uncial.  I am really fascinated with the art of illuminated manuscript.
