Each chapter opens with a lively vignette by a medieval narrator  including a parchment-maker, scribe and illuminator  introducing various aspects of manuscript production. Sara J. Charles poses the question 'What actually is a scriptorium?', and explores the development of the medieval scriptorium from its early Christian beginnings through to its eventual decline and the growth of the printing press. With the written word at the very heart of the Christian monastic movement, we see the immense amount of labour, planning and networks needed to produce each individual manuscript. By tapping into these processes and procedures, we can experience medieval life through the lens of a manuscript maker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47845890293918,"sku":"ADS-9781836391067","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781836391067.jpg?v=1781224173","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781836391067","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
