Ancient Manuscript Making

Thanks to Georgia Angelopoulos for pointing this out to me.  Great viewing for any beginning calligrapher or bookbinder!  Some things haven't changed much over the centuries.

Interesting, I was taught to add the slit to my quill last - but whatever works - and I ain't gonna argue with Thomas Ingmire!
