A number of them are quite involved in scholarly and technical research on some of the peripheral interests of calligraphers, including paleography, papermaking, bookbinding, and the study of pigments and media. I hope you don't mind my asking them for you. I'd also be interested to know what you will be doing with the information. I had a student quite a few years ago, a Mormon, who was quite interested in some of the Mayan manuscripts and was working on a project for herself in a similar style. Sincerely yours, Anne Anne T.
