Do you have any favorite sources for learning about medieval things? I just recently got into doing research of that period for my own project and it is daunting for sure and hard to pick out what is nonsense sometimes

Sure!

I don't know in what part of the Medieval Ages you're interested but will give a few sources that'll be a good start.

✸ Medieval Chronicles

Basically a medieval Wikipedia (with a pretty awful title font) which means that it won't tell you much but will be able to give some basic knowledge you can base you further research on.

✸ Advice for time traveling to medieval Europe

A very nice video with plenty of facts about Medieval Life. VERY good for worldbuilding since it tells you about Medieval Life from the perspective of you being there. (It also has a few good book recommendations in description.)

✸ Matt Easton of Schola Gladiatoria

An incredible YouTube channel with all sorts of videos about (not only) Medieval Military History.

✸ Festival of Archaeology 2020

A few amazing videos about Medieval Crafts.

✸ The Castle Builders

Documentaries about Medieval Castles.

✸ The Medieval Feast

And a documentary about Medieval Feast from the same YouTube channel.

(Note that as far as I know most of the information that we have on Medieval Recipes we have from Nobility since poor were not able to record them. So a lot of information you'll find on Medieval Eating might not be applicable to all classes.)

✸ For clothes, jewelry and decorative ornaments I usually use

"The Costume History" by Auguste Racinet

"The World of Ornament" by Auguste Racinet & Auguste Dupont-Auberville

Just like Medieval Chronicles it doesn't have a lot of detailed information on the period but points out important parts and has lots of examples.

✸ I personally don't make the world of Forest Manuscripts extremely historically accurate for the sake of storytelling.

For example I have a few smoking characters and tobacco wasn't introduced to Europe until the 16th century which is a bit later.

Before you break some rules it is important to know history but yeah breaking rules is totally fine unless it's a documentary thing!

What are some good places to look for manuscript style inspiration?

✸ Victoria and Albert Museum's Gallery

Contains lots of examples with descriptions. Sorted by Place of Origin, Material, Type, Time, etc.

✸ "The World of Ornament" by Auguste Racinet & Auguste Dupont-Auberville

Also contains a lot of examples of ornaments from Illuminated Manuscripts. Also sorted by Place of Origin, Type and Time.

✸ Alternatively you can search:

Book of Hours - Illuminated Christian prayer books. They were one of the most common types of Illuminated Manuscripts so you should be able to find lots of examples

Book of Kells - Celtic Gospel Book in Insular Style

Westminster Abbey Bestiary - 13th century Manuscript that contains lots of Animal Depictions

The Morgan Bible (or Crusade Bible) - 13th century Illuminated Manuscript made in France with illustrated events from Old Testament.

✸ And just some generally useful information:

What are Illuminated Manuscripts (who and why were making them)

A process of making an Illuminated Manuscripts (that for some reason ends with a cheese documentary)

Types of Decorative Features in Illuminated Manuscripts

Decorative Sunday 

This Sunday we present plates from L’ornament des Tissus: Recueil Historique et Pratique (The Ornament of Fabric: A Historical and Practical Collection), a French portfolio publication of one hundred chromolithographs highlighting textile design through the ages. The portfolio was published in 1877 in Paris by Ducher et Cie, publishers for the Société Centrale des Architectes, with introductory essays and explanatory texts accompanying each plate by Auguste Dupont-Auberville, a successful banker and collector of porcelain and textiles.

Charles Kreutzberger illustrated the textile designs and the lithography was completed by Frédéric Régamey. Text was printed by L'imprimerie Alcan-Lévy, the printing outfit of Félix Alcan. Alcan’s father Moyse Alcan was a publisher in their hometown of Metz, and his grandfather Gerson-Lévy was an educator, publisher, author, and translator, and was one of the earliest advocate of Reform Judaism in France.

See image captions for description of plates. 

You can find more Decorative Sunday posts here.
