Illuminated Medieval Manuscripts

(1/1)

Ian:
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.

Timothy:
Sir Ian, WOW

Thanks for the video! Very interesting.

Sir Edward:

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.

Sir Douglas:
Huh, I always wondered what they did if they made a mistake.

Very cool little documentary!

Don Jorge:
Definitely going to watch tonight...my wife and I took illumination course in the SCA...just rudimentary stuff so I am sure this will be helpful
