General Information About the Writing Quill
Who doesn't want to travel back in time and write like the Romans? All you need are papyrus or parchment, ink, and – an ancient writing quill. Anyone who wants to explore the origins of our modern writing culture and understand the development towards pencils, ballpoint pens, or fountain pens must definitely try an ancient writing quill.
You can experience history live and understand where our modern writing instruments originated. Compare the tip of a cut ancient writing quill with the nib of a modern fountain pen, and you will find that not only the names regarding the term “quill” are similar.
In the 4th century AD, reed was replaced by bird feathers as a writing instrument on parchment. The feathers from the wings of geese, so-called flight feathers, were preferred. The lower part of the feathers was pointed. Depending on the wear and writing intensity, this must be repeated with an ancient writing quill. Therefore, even today, a small extra knife for sharpening quill feathers is often found on pocket knives.
The Romans called a writing quill Penna Scriptoria. Even today, you can write special, unique letters with an ancient writing quill. Greeting cards or invitations receive a special touch and can be individually designed as something special. Handwritten certificates or documents created with a quill are given more originality and expressiveness. Ancient writing quills are particularly suitable for any kind of calligraphy and thoughtful writing.
In the Roman-Shop, you will find both papyrus, ink in various colors, and a selection of writing quills like in Roman times, including the Penna Scriptoria. The Penna Scriptoria is a real goose quill with a finely cut tip, ready to write. The tip can also be individually adjusted multiple times and, if necessary, hardened with heated bird sand.
