Youtube kanal The British Library objavio je nedavno seriju od sedam kratkih videa u trajanju do dvije minute u kojima Patricia Lovett, profesionalni kaligraf i iluminator, pokazuje proces izrade iluminiranih rukopisa: od izrade pera, tinte, pergamene, pigmenata, boje do naposljetku stranice rukopisa.
Kako izraditi najbolje pero za pisanje i kakva pera su koristili ljevaci u srednjem vijeku? Koji dijelovi životinje daju najbolji materijal za izradu pergamene i što su lacuanae? Od čega se izrađivala tinta i koliko je trajao proces izrade? Po čemu su minijature dobile ime i zašto se ne zovu minijaturama jer su oslikane minijaturnim detaljima? Pogledajte kvalitetnu i sažetu seriju Making Manuscripts.
