Guide for Constructing the Letter Q; Mira calligraphiae monumenta, about 1591-1596. Additional Info: This guide for making the letter Q illustrates both the schematic diagram and the finished form of the letter. The artist gave two tails to each Q, creating symmetrical characters that dominate the decoration of the page. The biblical verses at the center and at bottom praise God and his wonderful deeds. A cherub and trumpets at the top of the page, and vessels of burning incense at the bottom of the page, emphasize these celebratory phrases.
