Drawing Lines for an Illuminated Manuscript with a Lead-Tin Stylus

Lucas Tucker

This a time lapse video showing the process of drawing lines with a lead tin stylus to prepare for writing. The line spacing is 2.5 mm for a letter height of about 1.25 mm, which is the same size as the Paris Pocket Bibles of the 13th century.
