This was a great follow-up to reading Brother Theophane and Marguerite Makes a Book. Humorous and full of great medieval vocabulary. The illumination of rye first lattes was a perfect example of what such manuscripts would have had. I especially loved the descriptions of making a book beginning to end and inclusion of the Latin root words. a good library book to look out for.
