La réponse est oui, même si je jouerai sans doute l'électron libre, je serai à Saint-Antoine l'Abbaye pour le cours sur la décoration franco-saxonne (miam!).

Ben - since he read your e-mail, even Keith is saying "Anglo-Saxon", but the subject is FRANCO-Saxon decoration...
Here is a caption I wrote to the above image for the woman who is organizing the American course:
"Here is an example from the Second Bible of Charles the Bald - It has all the principal characteristics of the Franco-Saxon style:
Beautiful formal Roman display letters, Large initials in gold appearing to be inlaid in "enamelwork" -like celtic interlace and other elements, elegant so-called "artifical" uncials titling and versals, and a beautiful carolingian text script.
I am also very intrigued by the graffitti-like arrow-tipped E (there are whole words written like this in the manuscript)."
I neglected to mention the animal-headed terminals (I can't see this image well enough to tell whether there are any here or not).
Anyway, I don't think I propose presenting the Carolingian script during the Franco-Saxon course, as nearly everyone will have done it already. I figured the "Artificial" Uncials would be difficult enough.
I am so glad you have a blog! Congratulations!

Oups, let me correct that immediately.
Thanks for the notice
