Secret histories of illuminated manuscripts: the MINIARE project

[@MrTorleon]

Thank you for a fascinating and ' illuminating ' short documentary. As an illustrator and palaeographer, I worked on restoration/conservation of manuscripts back in the late 1960`s, through the 1970`s. and have found it astonishing and wonderful, in the digital age, just how much more information can now be accessed to identify pigments, techniques and possible or probable artists involved. so much more than was available back then. Top shelf production, wonderful :)

Wow 😮 my dream job being curator of these beautiful books

[@Methuselem]

What a lovely, interesting and civilised occupation it must be to study these books. Nobody on the docks wants to talk about illuminated manuscripts...would that I had done better in school.

[@shadetreader]

I'd be your co-worker at the docks who likes to talk illumination.

Illuminated manuscripts. One of the few art works that avoided protestant iconoclasts attention.

Are students allowed to photograph these? I'm an Oxford alum and cellphones weren't available when I was there so I'm curious.

2:40 .. the lady says that using egg yoke as a binder is more typical for panel painters then illuminators, so what did illuminators typically use for a binder in their paints? I would never assume to know more about illuminated manuscripts then a research associate at the department of manuscripts lol but in my humble, non-academic internet research of medieval manuscripts over the years, I only ever heard of egg yoke used for paint binders.

I must say that I am shocked that the manuscripts are handled with bear hands. All kinds of skin oil and debris can be transferred onto these historic treasures.

People of the book mentioned: Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam. Judaism.....? I find Uni art text books commonly ommit Judaism whilst striving to include as many cultures as possible.
