School project to create a letter in the style of an illuminated manuscript.  The writing on the bottom is Latin, Non audeat facere lacrimam Aut Succendam, which translates to, I do not dare to tear or kindle. Which is a reference to the monks who used to create illuminated manuscripts. A single page was so difficult to make that ruining one usually brought about a punishment, not to mention the knowledge all your's and several other people's hard work has just been wasted.
