Introduction to Anbur
I got a postcrossing card today from Russia. The sender includes this information on the back:
On the postcard you can see the ancient alphabet of the Komi people. It’s called Anbur. This alphabet was created by St. Stephen of Perm more than 600 years ago. The first books that were written in these letters were the Psalter and the Gospel.
This beautiful script is written with the nib held on the horizontal, about 5 nib widths high.
