Medieval manuscripts

Each piece is an authentic hand-made painting recreated in an artistically high quality that is faithful to the original medieval manuscripts.

An alternative, atypical counterpoint to today’s digitized typography that only works via electricity or batteries, which have gradually supplanted the handwritten word altogether.

Handmade reconstructions of medieval manuscripts

The project Scriptorium.dk arose in 2006, partly from self-studies of French and English medieval history and partly as a direct further development of my project www.jeanne-darc.info I started reconstruct medieval manuscripts and book miniatures with great detailed beauty and high artistic quality. Recreated using our own techniques so that they look like old original medieval manuscripts. All works painted by hand. The paper is fine artist paper, which I process so it have patina and age so i looks an original book painting which could be 500 years old. But its not. Its an illusion.
