DESCRIPTION:Aug 4\, 2026 - Mar 14\, 2027\nThe book. Few objects better illu
 strate how dramatically craftsmanship has changed. Long before industrial 
 presses and digital publishing\, every manuscript was written\, painted\, 
 and bound entirely by hand. A medieval manuscript was the end result of a 
 long process: animal skins had to be transformed into parchment\, text was
  painstakingly copied by scribes with quill pens\, illuminators added bril
 liant pigments and gold leaf to each page\, and binders assembled the fini
 shed sheets into a bound book. The Making of a Medieval Manuscript\, on vi
 ew at the Getty Center\, explores each of these stages through works from 
 the Getty Museum’s collection. Featuring Christian\, Jewish\, and Muslim
  manuscripts from Europe\, Armenia\, and Ethiopia—works dating from arou
 nd 500 to 1500—the exhibition highlights both the extraordinary craftsma
 nship and the cultural diversity of medieval book production. Among the hi
 ghlights are a late-14th-century French manuscript of chess problems\, wri
 tten and illustrated on meticulously prepared calfskin parchment\, and the
  13th-century Rothschild Pentateuch. Original tools\, materials\, and expl
 anatory videos further reveal the remarkable skill that went into these ha
 ndmade books.
