THE MACCLESFIELD ALPHABET BOOK APPEAL

The British Library is seeking to purchase a rare medieval ‘model’ or ‘pattern’ book, the Macclesfield Alphabet Book. The manuscript, dating from c.1500, was until recently completely unknown.

The purchase price for the manuscript is £600,000 of which the Library has already raised £340,000, and is now seeking individual donations to help them complete the acquisition. The Library has approached the SSI as 'one of the most established and respected calligraphy societies in the world, dedicated to the promotion of the crafts of writing and illumination for professional and amateur calligraphers' They thought that this project would appeal to members and that they may wish to offer their support.
