Professor Horobin is a remarkable scholar - and the unfortunate soul whose lot it was to teach me Middle English. I am grateful to him for his attempt to do so ;)
Writing with a pen with a knib was how we learned to write in England after we got past letters in chalk on a slate in infant class. Ink was in short supply. The knib should be broad for good writing. so it was normal for C S Lewis to write in ink on paper .
