Lescalopier 25; partly reproduced on Biblissima website; and Lilly Library, Ricketts 155: C. de Hamel, Gilding the Lilly, 2010, no. 99). Unlike many of their neighbours, the French continued to refine the scribal arts following the advent of printing, and perhaps were even spurred on by it. Nicholas Jarry was the zenith of the seventeenth century in this respect, and worked predominantly for Louis XIV and members of his court (on Jarry see, J. Bradley, Dictionary of Miniaturists, Illuminators, Calligraphers and Copyists, London, 1887, II:143-8, and R. Portalis, Nicolas Jarry et la calligraphie au XVIIe siècle, Paris, 1896). His script was described by Meridel Holland as 'if it could have been produced by a little, delicate typewriter' (in Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, 65, 1983, p. 148), and the resulting books were 'as frivolous and costly as Fabergé eggs' (de Hamel, p. 214).
