Humanis Epigramma in Schuueickeri Dexteritatem Conscriptum

Humans: Making the most of the hand they’re dealt!

The text notes that this man (Sueuicis Thomam Schweickerum) was born with small hands attached(?) to his shoulders, but he writes with his feet. These illustrations were made when he was 31 years of age. It also mentions his calligraphy being exceptional and that he “continues the dying monastic art of illumination” despite hot having arms.
