KTJA diatom, probably Guinarida species (in the middle). Brunsviken, a freshwater lake in Stockholm, 3rd of May 2025. 600x magnification. I am still setting up, searching for relatable proper microflora atlases and learning to add a scale bar, etc. But I drop some photos in the meanwhile.

EnniusIn the margin next to where God instructs Noach to build an ark, there has been drawn a lovely ark. Note also the micrography images of fish and a dragon in the upper and lower margins. <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Micrography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Micrography</a> BnF MS Hébreu 20.

Letterform ArchiveJ.C. de Widt, untitled example of original micrography, 10.63 × 12.75 in, Amsterdam, 1780.⁠ ⁠ Our last post showed the largest letters in the upcoming 10 × 10 for 10 exhibition. This item contains the smallest letters—by far. Micrography (or microcalligraphy) is the art of creating images using tiny writing. This kind of calligram has a long religious history based on the devout observation of the second commandment against images.<a href="https://typo.social/tags/10x10for10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#10x10for10</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Micrography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Micrography</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Microcalligraphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microcalligraphy</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Dutch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dutch</a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Calligraphy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Calligraphy</a>

MARBAS at PrincetonToday at Manuscript, Rare Book & Archive Studies (MARBAS) we're highlighting the source of our little draconic logo, which comes from the codex British Library, Add MS 21160. This is a 13th/14th century manuscript of the Hebrew Bible and it contains multiple examples of micrography: an art form that creates representational or abstract designs from miniature Hebrew letters. This was a distinctive technique created by Hebrew scribes in medieval Christian Europe and the Islamicate world.Our micrographic dragon appears on folio 19r, alongside Genesis 1:24–25's description of God's creation of the land animals. More examples of micrographic creatures abound through the manuscript -- take a look at its digitized reproduction on the British Library's Digitised Manuscripts webpage ( <a href="https://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=add_ms_21160_fs019r" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=add_ms_21160_fs019r</a> ) to see more! <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookhistodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookhistodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/medievodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@medievodons</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Manuscripts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manuscripts</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HebrewManuscripts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HebrewManuscripts</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Micrography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Micrography</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medieval</a>

SimonA calligraphic masterpiece, an 11-inch high piece of parchment that contains the entire biblical Song of Songs in Hebrew micrography (written in tiny letters). It is signed by the Lithuanian artist/scribe, Baruch ben Shemaryah, 1794. It renders the entire Song of Songs as a work of art, in letters that are at once text and illumination. Shir (song) is the central word around which the text revolves. - Yale University Judaica Collection <a href="https://campuspress.yale.edu/judaicacollection/2013/11/05/song-of-songs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://campuspress.yale.edu/judaicacollection/2013/11/05/song-of-songs/</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SongofSongs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SongofSongs</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/micrography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#micrography</a>
