Palatino 766 pipes, pools, cliffs, streams... (by Taccola)

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I also frequently argued against the notion (maybe introduced by Nick Pelling?) that the parallel hatching in the MS showed familiarity with renaissance techniques. While it's still not the subtle cross-hatching we get in later artists, there may have been more truth to that idea than I thought. It does seem to be mimicking drawing techniques straight from a renaissance source.

I have a solution for this "hatching problem", but unfortunately I am not allowed to mention it here...

All the best, --stolfi
