Signal boosting these eight (8!!!) videos from the British Library on the making of medieval manuscripts.1. Scribes and Manuscript Production after the Norman Conquest2. Making Manuscripts: Quills3. Making Manuscripts: Oak Gall Ink4. Making Manuscripts: Vellum5. Making Manuscripts: The Page6. Making Manuscripts: Pigments7. Making Manuscripts: Paint8. Making Manuscripts: Making MiniaturesWe generally don’t approve of the use of vellum as a general term for animal skin prepared as a writing support (we’d call it parchment) but no matter - if you’re interested in how manuscripts are made, take a look!(The ninth video is The Role of Law in Governing Medieval England which isn’t about making manuscripts but rather using them - so there are a couple of cool manuscripts in there too) -- source link
