This is such a niche and fascinating job. The amount of focus and work required is quite breathtaking. And i know from personal experience the feeling of completing a piece is like no other :) just to see and hold art you created and worked hard on is wonderful.
This is beautiful! You should release this without music and without it being speedup. The music is nice, but I prefer the sound of the manuscript page being made.
What adhesive did you use for the gilding? Is there an over the counter equivalent I can purchase at an art or craft store, or from Amazon? Beautiful work! I am going to begin the process of learning how to do this for my correspondence. Thank you so much! Lisa ❤
There are modern gilding adhesives available online that work fairly well and are much easier to work with than the historic one I use. Search for Instacoll and you should find it.
@@ScribalWorkShop At the moment, I am working on a love letter. Call it heretical, but I think it's a very creative approach to writing a love letter. So much goes into this as you well know. It's very important to me. I appreciate your help very much!
I arranged (rearranged from a couple other arrangements) and recorded it for recorder quartet (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). Send an email to info@scribalworkshop.com and I'll send the mp3 if you'd like.
Beautiful. The rabbit with the trumpet is just perfect. Question: After you are done with everything else, the text guides lining is erased? or were left just like that in historical documents?
I leave them just like in historic documents, these were done with a lead stylus, so will rub off a little over time, but will still mostly be visible.
At the scale it is written, although a combination, the bulk of the stress is on the hands Per an extant manuscript "hoc opus est scriptum magister da mihi potum; Dextera scriptoris careat grauitate doloris" Translated: This work is done, for Chrissake give me some grog; my right hand is killing me. When working on larger text, which is the scale most modern calligraphy is done in, it is possible to direct a lot of the movement to the arms, but when you X height is between 1-8 mm as you see in most books the arm doesn't seem to have the sensitivity to do what needs to be done.

Thank you! I really enjoy the work, and completion is a great feeling after spending 20+ hours on a piece (or a 700 hour book)
Ive always wanted to learn how to scribe. Stunning work
I have a few how to videos to help, and free worksheets on the website.
negative point of the video: it ends
Thanks!
Nice work young man, so satisfying ☕👌
Thank you very much!
OMG!!!😍 SO beautiful!
Thank you!
This is beautiful!

The actual background for most of these is a random audiobook playing.
@@ScribalWorkShopits still much nicer to have no background noise and just the sounds of the paper and painting

@@craft-o-matic399 I finished illuminating Song of Songs last year, it's erotic poetry, so a love letter seems fine.
Where did you get this instrumental? I love this hymn.

Your work is truly incredible. Have you been to Ireland (where I live) to see the Book of Kells in the flesh?
I have not, it is one of my life goals.

@@ScribalWorkShop Thank you very much I wasn't sure if in historical documents the lines were visible or not. again marvelous work. I love it.
May I inquire as to how you learned all, this?
Short answer is reading and experimentation.
@@ScribalWorkShop Which books should one read?
@@void7861 on divers arts, the craftsman's handbook by cennini, are good places to start as well as Marc Drogin's medieval calligraphy.
@@ScribalWorkShop Thank you and God bless you
Was medieval calligraphy written using the fingers or arm muscles?
