Perhaps in another time and another place I would have been a medievalist, dedicating each hour of each day to the study of manuscripts.

Find here, in each fold, a piece of history on art in the medieval period - between the 5th through 15th centuries and a touch beyond.

In this blog, I’ll investigate various pieces of medieval art and the making of manuscripts in niche detail - such as the making of black ink, what a scriptorium was like, life in the monastery, and many others.

Enjoy your stay - Sammi
