I know they cut up manuscripts to sell the illuminated letters.
But this dude cuts up a modern book about manuscripts and is selling the illustrations... As 'illuminated letter L' for just 2 euro.

reused bookbindings in bookbindings. A common practice but until now slightly forgotten in the study of bindings. So a series of blogs about 'bindings in bindings'. #1: reused wooden boards. boundforhistory.com/2023/12/07/b...

Woh, what a find. A wax tablet in action. Love to see this. Thanks @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social
Manuscript lesson of the day!
Wax tablets were a common medium for note-taking well into the Middle Ages. One advantage was that it only required hands for the tablet & stylus, whereas writing with a quill required a surface, quill, & ink pot. Here we see a painting showing a wax tablet in use.
