RE: Visit to Middle Ages Museum in Paris. So Medieval!
Ahh that illuminated manuscript on building techniques is beautiful. I am so enamored with illuminated manuscripts. The time involved is just so incredible, it is crazy enough to think about transcribing a manuscript by hand but then to add all the illuminations - each of those books is a true treasure. Enjoyed getting to see all these pictures, what a cool museum. Here just for kicks, this is an "upvoted" graphic I made using an illuminated manuscript as base (Book of Kells):
Very cool, @carlgnash! Thanks for sharing that with me! Yeah, I really wanted to get my hands on one of those books--there were several, and I was astonished by the vivid color that had remained after all these years. Truly a treasure.
