8.2 How to Make a Manuscript

Watch the videos showing how to make a manuscript from the British Library. In these videos, Patricia Lovett recreates a psalter made by Eadwig Basan, a monk of Canterbury, between 1012 and 1023. (We know it was made after 1012 because one of the prayers at the end refers to Ælfheah, archbishop of Canterbury who was killed by Knutr's forces during a food fight.)
