Just one video on the channel thats a shame

Is there any particular reason why you did not just use Pargament (the exact material that has been used back then )

Three years ago, and nothing else?

Clever use of the laptop screen. Beautiful project! Thanks for sharing.

Utrecht is a nice Dutch city. A university city and very beautiful.

You have a fine medieval mind !

That was super fascinating! I wonder, did you do this for a final project for a class or such? It is your only video - and it was great! Thanks for all the references for those who'd like to know more about this. That is great.

This was so cool,thank you for sharing!

This small medieval abacus, attributed to the innovations of Al-Khwarizmi, was a pivotal tool in shaping the numerical calculations and digit paleograms of the era. This abacus reflects the ingenuity of medieval computational tools, bridging physical representation with the abstract formation of digit shapes in paleographic studies. Thanks

Please make more videos

Very nice work. Admire your patience

This hardcore. Respect.

It was fun to watch this video!! Instagram to keep up with latest projects?

Beautiful

Yo this the kind of art I like doing too. The kind where you just find the most random and scattered ideas, and bring them together into one big piece! From forests, to mines, all for one piece. That is art to me :), true time, true dedication, true detail, and true strength in making with what you have got. Wonderful piece!

とても美しいです！自分で全て作ってしまうなんて素晴らしいですね🥰

Amazing work! What is the Manuscript about? Did you try to find out… or just copied the text?

Thank you very much. I found your making of a pen especially informative--I hadn't known about the need to temper the quill, and it was a surprise to see how brittle and hard to cut it was. The story I've heard is that the best blue was made from lapis lazuli, which came from Afghanistan. So, definitely the most expensive pigment, which is why Mary is dressed in blue, until in the Early Modern period there was a new red, even more expensive (? from the Americas). I doubt if cadmium red was used; AFAIK the normal red for highlights in lettering was cinnabar, mercury sulphide. Greens were I think arsenic based, or verdigris. As you say, white was lead based, and so were some yellows. Health and safety nightmare, and the trope in _The Name of the Rose_ of a poisonous manuscript was as close to life as the perils of radium watch dials. The vegetable colours were a lot safer, though not as brilliant. You were unhappy with your ink. Actual ink in mss that I've seen varies from a pretty pale brown to a nice intense black. Either the iron gall ink was used, or carbon black suspended in gum arabic. I suspect the carbon black would give a more intense colour. Your ink seems very liquid in the close ups, and a bit blobby: I'm really not sure about this, but I wonder if you had problems using medieval ink on modern parchment. Your writing surface seems pretty impermeable, whereas my impression is that medieval skin surfaces would take in more of the ink. I suspect modern parchment is as machine-made as possible (the process of making parchment is pretty messy, and not at all suitable for vegetarians), and so has a more finished surface. The workflow seems to have been normally that a scribe prepared the parchment and wrote the text. For flash initials, they would leave a space, often with a small letter to indicate what fancy capital needed to go in there. The sheets would then go to a second worker to do capitals, and perhaps rubrication. You can see that this failed occasionally, because there are books with the spaces for the initials which have never been used. Lastly, sheets would be sent off for the illustrations. Separating sheets has obvious potential for foul-ups, and indeed there are medieval mss misbound in their first putting together. You were very brave using gold leaf.

very good work! i think your calligraphy work is great, especially compared to some of the less legible historical examples. sometimes i swear the scribe just got bored and started doing vertical strokes until their shift was over lol. I would also love to know where you got your feathers, ive been trying to source some for quills for ages but i just cant find a reasonable price

Weren't turkeys a New World bird?

There were turkey species in mediaeval Europe from which to make quills? I thought turkey product wasn't available in Europe until after sustained transatlantic trade.

Oh it was so nice when that flute stopped. Unfortunately it started up again. However, your art was very nice.

What a great job - both in the process, detailing your methodolgy and references -- and the final result. Congrats!

I fracking LOVE your reference section! I'm a few videos into researching Medieval bookbinding, and you just gave me all the sources. YOU ARE AMASING!

What i don't get did she Use now animal skin or Paper 😅?

What an extraordinary piece of work. Your attention to detail, both historical and practical, is astonishing... The whole video was brought beautifully back to period with the excellent choice of music. I am totally amazed and congratulate you on your commitment and skill.

how much do u sell them and who buys them, and how long did it take u for one book

This is *amazing!*

🎶 volume becomes annoying!

Thanks for sharing

For darker stains on props for D&D (e.g. treasure maps) I've always used coffee powder with barely enough water to dissolve it. Then use drops of that for stains, smears and blotches.

I LOVE your dedication - this turned out absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for cataloguing the entire process. It’s incredible! :D

What can I possibly add? Wow! Respectful salutations from an amateur English would-be artist. Absolutely loved the accompanying music - completely authentic, lovely mix of instruments.

Gorgeous

Really cool!!!

almost everything you did is wrong I hope no one is cooping you.

Were scribes paid for their work or was it deemed their religious duty?

Bravo!!

Very Informative thanks for posting this.

When brushing, it is important to use decisive single strokes rather than to sketch with short, rapid and loosely controlled bursts. If you need to, try bringing your eyes closer to the work in order to get a better visual orientation. Then, breathe slowly and commit to the stroke while exhaling. I know it sounds excessive, but I assure you it is the way of the master painter.

Amazing project

Keep this away from the British museum

Amazing work 👍 I’d love to see you making more of these. Bravo 👏

I find your documentation and work extraordinary. Thank you for all of the hard work throughout the processes.

So beautiful

Modern rainwater is often acidic and has other pollutants. It was used then to avoid the calcium in hard water. Today you may want to use distilled water. Art Prof.

That book is so beautiful. I'm amazed by it.

Fabulous and fascinating. Thank you.

Where did you learn the art?
