Scriptorium
This page is for images of paper items which originate after the end of the SCA time period. I have used some judgement in determining the line between them. While, technically, the SCA period ends at the end of the 16th Century, at least one item from approximately 1604 is in the manuscripts section and not among these post-period items. These post-period items are chosen for their beautiful illumination or other interesting characteristics.
You can see here thumbnails or excerpts of available items. Clicking on one will bring up a picture or series of pictures of that item. Some items have many pictures, some have only one, it's sort of hit and miss. The vast majority of images on this site were culled from eBay, and thus their authenticity and dating are not 100% guaranteed. I have relied on the information provided on eBay to give dates and descriptions. Anyone who has information or knowledge about the dating or location or anything else relating to these images, please send me email.
