So they were all right about the use of silver and gold adding something special to the books. Go them. It was the preservation that surprised Lux more than anything. Illiteracy was THAT high in the middle ages? She couldn't imagine living in a society where most people couldn't read. It was mind-boggling.
Another question was asked, and she immediately raised her hand to answer. "Because they are pretty and people like pictures." Or well...most people did. Maybe there were some exceptions. She herself liked illustrations even if a lot of the books she read didn't have them.
Carefully following instructions and watching Professor Glendower's demonstration, Lux began working on her illuminated manuscript. She already had some ideas of what she was going to put on it. Each piece of parchment was folded in half and then folded in half again. Once finished, she stacked them neatly. "Adhero!" Now she had them all glued together. She was doing this like a pro.
Yay!
More folding, but of the decorative papers this time. "Adhero!" There. She had a sheet half attached to the inside cover and half attached to the front page. The exact same process was completed for the back of her manuscript, and Lux was completely caught up. Patiently she waited for Glendower to move on to the next steps. |
