Documentation/Papers & Presentations

 

Additional links to specific projects. Also included are projects in progress and the projected time of completion.

OVO Scroll Inspired by Bridwell MS9 Book of Hours, f.29r using various period materials and techniques

  • Older documentation; not perfect, but a useful starting point

  • Original had appendices (now lost to time) to keep the primary document concise & avoid the clutter of things judges likely already knew. Only change made to doc was to show where this information can be found on my website instead.

  • Numerical citations used instead of in-text citations to maintain better flow (this is a personal choice, not a standard) & footnotes included for quick & specific reference access for readers.

Balancing the Use of Period Scribal Materials with SCA Scroll Conventions & Needs

  • Google Drive folder link for PDF of paper & presentation slides + raw images (sorted)

  • Less formal writing style for accessibility

  • No in-text citations since a lot of this information crosses over so much that every other sentence would have like five different citations

  • YouTube Asynchronous Class link in progress

Dangerous Beauty: Hazards in Medieval Arts & Sciences (version 1, 06.26.2025)

  • Google Drive link for PDF of slides. This is open for anyone to comment to suggest edits & additions.

  • This is intended to be broadly useful. Some of the information here, while extensive, is still pretty quick & dirty. This is meant to expose you to things you might not have thought to dig into. I heavily encourage you to dive deeper for any materials you are working with.

  • There is no YouTube link for this presentation yet as I want this to be an ongoing conversation and will likely teach this multiple times as I incorporate new information. I'll record once I feel it's about as complete as it can get.

Ambiguity and Authority: The Challenges of Classifying Secretary Scripts in the Late Middle Ages

  • Still in progress (eta: Fall 2025); will include: Google Drive link for combined PDF of paper & appendices; will update Secretary Scripts handout page to include a link to this as well

From Rinceaux to Bar & Ivy: The Evolution of Foliate Border Decoration in Late Medieval Manuscript Illumination
