Today's class was interesting. Not only did we have Andrew Lloyd Goodman speak to us before class, we were lucky enough to have him join us in class. When reviewing the last 2 chapters we read, chapters 4 and 5, he would go into more detail about what we were learning. I'm not going to lie, it was really interesting to hear how much information he knows. We discussed the illuminated manuscripts into more detail and then we started to go over printing.
One thing I found really interesting about this class was the process it took to make a book back in the day. There were many different people involved in this process and some people had better jobs than others.
My question after this class is how much did the workers get paid back then to make a illuminated manuscript?
Sam,

After seeing Andrew tell us about images he had never even seen before just by reading the symbols...I too was also amazed! He was awesome!
