A medieval art history blog

Find here, in each fold, a piece of history on art in the medieval period - between the 5th through 15th centuries and a touch beyond.

Please note, this website is under construction and is not final. I hope to add blogs at least once a month, and to include academic resources for students and others.

Current project: The making of black inks.

About the blog

Perhaps in another time and another place I would have been a medievalist, dedicating each hour of each day to the study of manuscripts.

In this blog, I’ll investigate various pieces of medieval art and the making of manuscripts in niche detail - such as the making of black ink, what a scriptorium was like, life in the monastery, and many others.

Enjoy your stay - Sammi
