Journey Through Tuscan Scriptoriums 1348: From Vellum to Plague Art (Ancient Methods)

Journey Through Tuscan Scriptoriums 1348: From Vellum to Plague Art (Ancient Methods) Step inside a Tuscan scriptorium in the fateful year 1348, where calfskins become vellum, ink is brewed from oak galls, and gold leaf turns sacred texts into living light—just as the Black Death begins to strike Florence and Siena. From slaughterhouse to stretching frames, from quill-cutting and ink-making to ultramarine pigments and raised gilding, this film reconstructs the exact medieval methods that produced illuminated manuscripts in fourteenth‑century Tuscany. As the plague devastates cities and workshops, we follow how death, fear, and faith transform the imagery itself—ushering in darker, apocalyptic visions and early “plague art” in manuscripts and panel painting. Every step is based on historical research, guild practices, and surviving manuscripts, bringing you as close as possible to the real workbenches, tools, and techniques of medieval craftsmen.
