THE REASON I KEEP ON WORKING on manuscripts is the unique experience of making something entirely handmade. The decoration is created line-to-line, dot-to-dot, until it becomes a title, a motif or a whole picture. Furthermore, the readings reveal each time their own world. So if someone considers that a great number of the most important essays on philosophy, history, art and sciences were taught and brought through by manuscripts written in Greek language (a language that is being spoken ceaselessly for the last 2.500 years), it becomes obvious why I have been so much attracted to this pursuit.
