- Making a historically adequate partial replica of The Missal of Eberhard von Greiffenklau, a 15th-century manuscript from The Walters Art Museum.
I apologize for the video corruptions that crop up at a couple points, I'm not sure how to fix that!

So impressed by your level of commitment to this craft! Dying the paper, making the quills, the rabbit skin glue, gilding, use of pigments, the many steps to binding etc.! Finished product is amazing. I’d love to know the context of your craft and artistic life! Certainly, there is a heavy karmic connection to past life/lives in this endeavor, no question of that!
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 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!
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.

The main ingredient in oak gall ink is tannic acid - it literally burns the letters from the page over the years. I think the rainwater is a lovely touch!
Looks great, I have done something similar to this and it’s takes forever lol and scribes did entire books back then!
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.
Wow! I have been wanting to do this for so long and this video hyped me up quite a bit! Thank you! :D Wonderful work!
Perfect for our medieval homeschool unit. Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful project. Not only a marvelous job, but superb photography. I hope we see more of you.
Amazing work 👍
I’d love to see you making more of these. Bravo 👏
Fabulous and fascinating. Thank you.
I find your documentation and work extraordinary.
Thank you for all of the hard work throughout the processes.
Emma! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing work from the actual manuscript to the video production thank you! All the way from the desert of Arabia, Omar.
I LOVE your dedication - this turned out absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for cataloguing the entire process. It’s incredible! :D
Awesome! beautiful work, must have taken a long time to complete.
That book is so beautiful. I'm amazed by it.
love this video for the recreate progress, we often think of our world as it have been existing like that for centuries, but that's not the case here. I loved all the process
Good luck on future proyects
This is *amazing!*
Awesome. I've always found gesso to work well when laying gold.
Amazing work, ma'am. Thank you!

Lovely!
Really cool!!!
UNA VERDADERA MARAVILLA!
Bravo!!
Labor of love 😉👍🎉
Hi have a couple of questions on older manuscripts were the guidelines kept? If so were there particular hands where the guidelines were kept as a stylistic option or as a functional option? Do you erase guideline and if so does the ghose lines still show through? For example if there is and ascended or descender will they not be glazed over by the ink and thus part of the final product? On older manuscripts where there are no guidelines seen is it the case that the guidelines became part of the ink lettering. Is there any medium that fades quickly, for example a thype of ink or graphite that will fade fast and leave no impression of a guideline. Are there any links to manuscripts which illustrate the use of guidelines?
Because I've recently been doing bookbinding on the Renaissance Artisan Project, someone sent me this link and I want to thank you for the pleasant 27 minutes I just spent watching your video. I deeply envy your collection of pigments. Was this for an A&S competition, or school project, or just for fun? (You might've said and I just missed it.) Whatever your reasons, well done you. Regarding your experience with gold leaf, I confess I haven't mustered the nerve yet to do much with it. (Soon) However, since I spend a lot of time going out on these limbs, creatively, I try not to be too hard on myself for not picking up in an afternoon what someone spent a lifetime mastering. Thanks for the video! I hope you make more. :)
вау, попробую сделать так же!
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.
John 14;6. Awesome job ✝️
Hi, i don’t know if you’ll respond to this because the video is 2 years old at this point, but i really want to learn this craft so i can write out the bible by hand. How did you start learning calligraphy? books?
Just some ideas for you - you can reach out to your local SCA chapter scribal group, watch tutorials online, practice by tracing, using books, or even taking some classes. Good luck! (I like illuminating rather than calligraphy, so I find a font I like, print out my text and use a light board. But that’s also a good way to get the feel initially)
@@Anjulie7 thanks for the tips, much appreciated
Simplismente maravilhoso eu estou querendo fazer um oficio divino assim também mais é divicio
how much do u sell them and who buys them, and how long did it take u for one book
Keep this away from the British museum
Agreed
Where did you buy parchment from? I cannot find any full skins.
From a company called Pergamena!
looking for people to help make a modern illumined manuscript!
I’m interested if you’re still looking!
@@emmapaterson7814 amazing ! what are your skills - interests- or specialties? because what I am doing is modern I am digitizing it... then will want to make many "real" ones from the printable manuscript... I just started book 4 of 15-or so.. ( this digital art has been fun to learn but I cant wait to get back to learning more hands on skills in the book making tradition. I mainly was an oil painter most my life.. but would start a band every once in awhile.. then all this william blake like long time festering images words
philosophical, metaphysical poetry,and linguistic mind games came flowing out.. hence the manuscript wants life breathed into it by many hands. its a lot to explain. but thanks for your response!
turkey feather
Where did you learn the art?
What i don't get did she Use now animal skin or Paper 😅?
Were scribes paid for their work or was it deemed their religious duty?
Where is result?
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.
Your calligraphy is down to your form,…… you are pinching the pin inwards.. less fingers on the quill. Flow is paramount… it’s not a biro…
almost everything you did is wrong I hope no one is cooping you.
🎶 volume becomes annoying!
