Oh, My Hand: Complaints Medieval Monks Scribbled in the Margins of Manuscripts
I'm currently hand-writing a copy of the Greek New Testament as a (theoretically) fun project. I've bound many books before, but this is the first I'll write by hand before binding. I sympathize with "Now I've written the whole thing: For Christ's sake give me a drink."If you want to truly appreciate the work monks did to preserve knowledge in the medieval period, try writing a book out by hand.
