Medieval dachshund - Or: drawing with words

Here are three examples of a technique called “micrography”: decorative scenes that are drawn with words written in a tiny script. While there are examples from Latin books made in the West (here is one), the technique is particularly common in medieval Hebrew manuscripts. The drawings are usually found in biblical manuscripts and they appear to be commentaries to the text. The technique, whereby a scribe wrote in the smallest handwriting possible, goes back to the 9th century AD. The examples here, from the 13th century, shows just how entertaining the word-made drawings can be: they are an opportunity for the scribe to frolick in the margins of the page - like drawing a creature that looks like a dachshund.

Paper Amulet, Germany ca. 1775

According to the museum: "This very esthetic amulet was written in Germany.  When its use was finished, it was put into the Genizah of the synagogue in Westheim in Bavaria, where it was found about 35 years ago.  This example shows clearly how such amulets were folded, place in some sort of enclosure and kept in the owners clothing or purse. The inscriptions indicate that the purpose of the amulet is a general protection for the bearer.  Some of the inscriptions are written in micrographic script. In the very center is a six celled magic square with Hebrew letters of one of the names of Lilith. The scribe who wrote this amulet possessed an excellent esthetic sensibility. The large letters around the perimiter and around the magic square in the center are all names of protective angels."
