The Creation of Medieval Manuscripts: From Binding to Writing Support

emiller0718

    The creation of a medieval manuscript from writing support to binding is no easy task. Pens and ink had to be made. Lines needed to be added to leaves for orderly copying. Notes had to be left in the margins for rubricators and illustrators. Not even to mention the fact that copying could take years. Nevertheless people were making and copying books.  This exhibit will unravel these steps and the many more necessary in the creation of the medieval manuscripts.
