  • Very interesting.

  • I noticed she didn't use gloves, too. I'm just learning illumination to go with my calligraphy, so I'm glad to know the use of initial caps, and colors as indicators. This video was very helpful.

  • @madhatterstamps she is a woman. :P

  • I don't understand the handling. She is touching the pages of the 14th century manuscript like it is last weeks comics ??????. I collect old books, 1600-1700 and never touch the pages without gloves.

  • i started making my own illuminated manuscripts, cool hobby, i use ink , pencil crayon

  • excelent presentation!!!!

  • Very interesing indeed! Thank you very much for this video.

  • redredwar: When I was looking at medieval manuscript at Carolina Rediviva (Uppsala University Library in Sweden) I asked the same question since I wasn't given any gloves when recieving the codexes I ordered. Turns out it's no big deal since the vellum is quite sturdy - in some way it's even better to handle it with bare hands. Even a pretty young manuscript like this can easily stand the gentle poking from curators and interested readers. (The older the manuscript the thicker is the parchment.)

  • A very nice intro to the layout of medieval liturgical texts, and what a great way to reach more people with your collections. Is it not desirable to wear gloves when handling medieval manuscripts though? I thought that vellum is susceptible to the oils from the skin. I am happy to be wrong. I would love to see more videos on your collections.

  • This is good stuff! A boring book, but interesting to learn about. Can you show us the calligraphy style more closely pretty please Miss Leslie?
