Illuminated Medieval Manuscripts

Staring at the images on websites like
Manuscript Miniatures
for hours on end doing research is a wonderful modern resource, but it really separates you from the craftsmanship, skill, artistry, and sheer beauty that goes in to actually making a medieval illuminated manuscript. I was fumbling around on the Getty Museum's website tonight and came across this great mini documentary that outlines the process. It's quite fascinating and gives you a much better appreciation for medieval illuminations.

Awesome! Yeah, I've always found this process to be beautiful and amazing.
I have this scheduled to post to the Order's FB page today.

Huh, I always wondered what they did if they made a mistake.
Very cool little documentary!
