What a cool site. I almost deleted your email unread because your
subject line is
so similar to the spam porn subject lines. :-)

Thank you Gwendoline, that is a wonderful site... and one I hadn't seen before
either.  I can see some long hours in front of the computer monitor in the near
future <giggle>.

Lovely web site.............and I added it to my already humongous bookmark
file of stuff relating to Illumination!

You know, the other day, while remembering a very enjoyable trip to Germany
and Austria 5 years ago now, I was trying to remember the name of a small
Alpine town that I did NOT get to visit while there that my sister told me
she would take me to next time I came over to visit. All I could remember
was that it began with an "M". So I typed into the search engine the only
thing I could think of, that being the word "Mittlealter", thinking that it
was close enough to where the search engine might actually find the town.

I rather forgot that the word "Mittlealter" means "Middle Ages" in German.
Well, this yielded some very interesting web sites, some, unfortunately,
"auf Deutsch", and my German leaves a lot to be desired, but still, I was
able to find a number of interesting sites, so try typing that into
Google.com and see what happens. And have fun with the hours and hours
you'll spend going through the numerous sites you can visit!

I ended up finally remembering that what I was looking for originally was
the town of "Mittenwald" in the Alpenstraße in south Germany. But the
accidental diversion into the "Mittlealter" was a very pleasant one!

And a VERY time consuming one, too..........................!!! <grin> Glad
it was a slow day at work that day!!

Subject: [scribes]: Atlantian Undelivered Scrolls

Greetings,

This is a list of the scrolls that I have in my case as of 11/16/01.  I will
have them with me at Unevent and 12th Night.

http://scribe.atlantia.sca.org/backlog/Undelivered.htm

Some are ready to deliver, some still need signatures and some need heraldic
corrections or recipient consultation.  If your scroll is listed here please
contact me: signet@atlantia.sca.org to give me your contact info and/or
arrange for delivery.

I’ve put stars around the recipients that I personally don’t know how to
contact.  Yes, I’ve probably marked some people that everyone knows but me -
please don’t be offended :).  If you can help me find any of these gentles
please contact me.

I’ll try to keep this list up to date on-line.

Thank you!

Yours,
Genevieve

So, are you going to share any more of your manuscript bookmarks?  Is there 
anywhere we can create a massive list of good manuscript links?

Here are some others of my favorites

For this, here is the list of shelf marks you can search under
http://128.32.97.216/scripts/idc/ds/dsshelfmark.idc
And here is the search page...

Sure, I can do that! So here are some of them - beware, you're probably
going to spend ALL NIGHT on line looking at these! <grin>

OK, that ought to keep y'all busy for a few hours! Maybe we can somehow
compile a database of some sort of our favourite sites relating to scribing?
Anyone got any ideas as to how we might do that?

This is one link you really should have in your bookmark file! I know I used

This site features some really great reproductions of MSS. pages as well as
painting and sculpture of the Gothic through Baroque periods. It's a site
well worth the time to take to explore and it also has a nifty feature that
allows you to play period music of the 14th through 18th centuries while
browsing!

I feel rather dumb. I have a variety of gesso recipes and how to's on 
gilding but nothing on the preparation of gum ammoniac. Any hints as to how 
to make the stuff sticky, and how long does it keep? Any advice would be 
greatly appreciated.
