Dear Philomena+Gilbert,
Does your book have examples of the scripts which you mention in the
article-Braj, Magahi, Marwan, Mythoi. Also, Did Braj really have its own
script?s

I am interested in scripts as a drawn form in the sense that one may
interact with alphabets in an autotelic way. I have recently finished
drawings of four entire scripts-Tamil, Halle Kannada, Thamudic and Southern
Arabian. So an answer to my question above would be much appreciated. BTW,
I am now working on Aramaic, Brahmi, Kharosthi, Ugaritic( a cuneiform
writing system similar to that employed by the Sumerians, Assyrians,
Babylonians, etc) and learning/drawing Modi. One project of this body of
work involves creating involved drawings of all scripts directly decended
from Brahmi. The others would be Gupta, Sarada, Nagari, Devnagiri, Bengali,
Oriya, Landa, Gurmukhi, Takri, Kashmiri,  Gujarati, Kalinga, Grantha,
Sinhala, Kadamba, Malyalam, Kannada and Telegu.

I looked up www.ancientscripts.com and in my scripts books but could not
find the scripts that you mention in your excerpt. Again, I look forward to
hearing from you folks.

Sincerely,
Venantius
