Thank you! There's a link to another 'medieval' video in the text above - best 'dragon' manuscript ever. I'll add in links to two others in the next day or so.
You are most welcome. As an illustrator with an interest in paleography, I found your video presentation, lively and intriguing, informative, but with some humour - just right :)
Does anyone know if threes videos, hopefully on y You-tube that read...what the books say in from beginning to end in English? Reading the scrips for me is difficult.
You wrote "reading the scripts for me is difficult." YES, it is...even for those who read Latin AND know their Bible AND are able to decipher the script. I've occasionally been able to trace a specific verse in a psalm or Book and chapter in the New Testament....and then run it thru a translation program....etc etc .
Wood inlay! wow! I did some lino prints, cutting the details required magnifying mask. Good Luck. Somewhere in my stuff is a history of AND or ET - it ends with a minute or so of Kells ET images hurling themselves around the screens.
Sorry for being so slow - there are few more Medieval in my Ishuggi channcel - along with others, on miscellaneouso items, all "mine own make" Others of mine rest in a different channel - details to follow in another REPLY...and thanks for compliments....nd loyalty Happy Canada Day liz...
@@supremereader7614 Can't find another one, I thort I had another but YT internal working now so complex I can't figure out how to do things that used to be easy. Sorry - medieval anything OK - Have not done one for ages - mss like Kells and Lindisfarne are fascinating re insular art,....maybe I am convincing myself. Thanks for watching.but a bit hard to laugh at!!
I'd guess ou mean the uber gorgeous engagement scene - Les Tres Riches Heures. There's lots of info on Line, Wiki is good and they have good repros from that and Les Belles Heures...the latter is at the Met...Tres Riches has never been digitised and is in France. Also fascinating story of the 3 brothers artists who did MOST of the work on Tres Riches, the Limbourg Brothers.
Nice of you to comment, and you're right - it doesn't. The word 'illumination' is now used generally to refer to the 'images' that are painted in manuscripts dating from medieval times. Very specifically it refers to images gilded with gold leaf but it is now used generally to describe any image painted in manuscripts during medieval times. I show a broad range of the type and style of images....because this ART was the very beginning of all art in the western world it's very relevant to see the variety - very specific information on 'how' they created these illuminations is available elsewhere. I used this as part of a lecture where other segments discussed the meaning and 'how to" of illumination more specifically. Thanks again for taking the time to make a comment.
For the word illumination there are two 'meanings' 1. In its original meaning, the figures were gilded with gold leaf and so seemed lit up or illuminated. 2. The images also 'illuminate' or comment on the text. Sometimes like any picture book they are a literal picture of the text's story, but in medieval times the images are so strange that the layers of meaning are lost - we can only guess. For the more complex images scholars say it is dangerous to "guess" because it is impossible for us to understand the medieval mind. Kells is typical of that.
In this picture we have Jesus Mary and Joseph, and we'll draw attention to the details in their faces, so you don't see the demons swirling around them
Thanks, in a later edition this was revised to highlight the demons in the leaves and not the artwork below. The detail (as you know) is staggering,, I figure they're no more than 1.5 MILLIMETRES in circumference with every feature on their tiny faces visible. Thank heaven for digitisation!

Narrator only reveals the profane secular meanings. Each drawing and text have second meaning. To understand what you see and why it looks like that only few concepts of physics and mathematics. Torus(donut shape), Hyperbola(hourglass shape), Mandelbrot, Feigenbaum constant, the shape of 3D S-curve which basically is the motion path of the force in nature. You have to imagine how carpets are made. There is the core called the rug representing the quadrature and the words and signs are curvilinear. The S curves or spirals are representing circle.:Quadrature of the circle, golden ratio, Fibonacci, the rule of right hand, magnetic and dielectric physics are incorporated. Imagine the text as it would be yarn. The goal is to transform what you see into its true shape by knowing the rules. It is like you take some text as it was yarn and attach it to the needle than perform the same movements as you would in real life. This kind of knowledge cannot be developed or understood by primitive people, but nobody would believe me if I told you that each single cave painting or petroglyph is the fu..ing composition of the 3-dimensional S vector fractal curve. Egyptians, Sumerians, Africans, Asians, Maya all had the knowledge how the nature distribute the energy generated by interactions and reactions between various existing phenomena. Everything created by ancient civilizations was build by these rules. The clue is that if you can precisely and correctly reproduce the natural pattern of energy distribution, then the force of nature immediately flows trough it, which results in longevity and conservation of the pattern created by you. Shape and function are connected. That means that particular shape or pattern are coherently resonating with its self similar natural quality(Archetype). Our language is the tool of creation. As we speak we create harmonic patterns. Human does communicate by synchronization of harmonic shapes which are recognized by mind. There is no objectivity or understanding by reasoning or logic as we have been told. The scary thing is that this knowledge is still here but they use it against us to make us obey, through application of harmonic patterns which are designed to influence our mind . If you have ever wondered why the old building are so overloaded by decorative art. This is not a simple decoration, this is physics. This is what freemasonry refers to. Each kind of structure achieved by this method is in harmony with nature. It is truly the united field theory. This is how knowledge should be applied, communicated and stored. Science was told by clever constructed combinations of technical and artistic mantras to be able to start with education by early age.. This way you create very divine artists of science. Universe can be understood by any human being by its natural given ability. It does not require any rational mind. Universe is constantly trying to be your friend or what you need the most, but you can not feel it. First you have to come to realization how beautiful and precious are all its creatures bad or good, ugly or pretty and that you are them and they are you. You slowly start to realize that even the worst things hated by everybody are very important and you come to the realization, that the role of evil and its nature or purpose of it are divine. Nobody want to play such role, but each of us has created a part of its evilness. You have to remember the story of Lucifer. He only wants to be loved by father but he is the only creature which cannot be loved by his creator. Imagine the magnitude of suffering of the divine creature which was created by ultimately loving force which he will never experience. He is only creature in existence given no choice. He is in fact of major importance for the creation and its existence . How does it feels to be born as instrument and to be hated and feared. There is much more to this ...The most important data to understand the basics you only find on channel called Theoria apophysis ...It is the most important topic ever existed. If you understand its magnitude and importance it will reveal the the most shocking realization you can ever imagine...
//Egyptians, Sumerians, Africans, Asians, Maya all had the knowledge how the nature distribute the energy generated by interactions and reactions between various existing phenomena //.. No they didn't. That's just plain stupid and historic ignorance.They were ignorant of these things and attributed everything to their gods. These were discovered only after the renaissance europeans.
Fallen angels have stolen the information that wasnt meant for them to share with humans. lucifer/satan is a jealous creature only seeking to cause chaos and disruption. This knowledge he forces upon humans to learn is not meant for humans. We should only trust Jesus Christ for our salvation to be with Father God forever/eternal life in peace, no more sorrow nor pain/suffering. We shouldn't base our salvation on stolen knowledge from The Father in Heaven The Most High. Thats why The Millenial Reign was a thing and that old serpent satan was cast down into the bottomless pit so he could not deceive the nations with his destructive use of technology/knowledge.
