The Making of a Medieval Book examines the hand production of books in pre-modern Europe, tracing the stages of manuscript making from parchment preparation to writing, painting, and binding. Manuscripts from the Museum’s collection illustrate the materials, tools, and techniques involved in each phase, offering insight into the labor and skill required to produce books before mechanized printing.
