The BBC has done it again, unfortunately, this program isn't available --- yet --- in the U.S. So until it is, enjoy this video. And if you're ever in Southern California, get yourself to the Getty Museum to see the stunning collection of illuminated manuscripts: Getty Museum. Once there, search "illuminated manuscripts" for permanent exhibitions, current exhibitions and items in its gift store.
Isn't it though? I love the curator's "freak" comment and the narrator's description of the book's contents. I've watched five times and still don't tire of it. And, yes, you're right, gloves definitely should have been worn while handling.
What a freak of a clip!!! And they are touching it with their bare fingers--no gloves for this artifact!?
