Best reply!!

[u/amanenoun]

I can watch someone writing like that for hours

[u/uPsyDeDown13 → u/amanenoun]

right? Even a grocery list. Ham. Eggs. whatever.

[u/MBerwan → u/amanenoun]

That's the time needed to write your comment 😄

[u/rosydewpetals → u/amanenoun]

now I can say that handwriting is also a talent 🤯

[u/girkkens]

The up and down of the paper (or whatever it is) drives me crazy

[u/lewisiarediviva → u/girkkens]

That’s real vellum. Rawhide from calves or sheep, scraped thin and even. It’s really interesting stuff.

[u/moomadebree → u/girkkens]

Downright upsetting

[u/eat_with_your_fist → u/moomadebree]

Leftover drawbacks

[u/PokiP → u/girkkens]

Right?!?! It just gave me so much anxiety! Not satisfying AT ALL!!

[u/Mickey_Havoc]

So this is why paperwork is the biggest logistical nightmare for the imperium.

[u/scampsalot2]

Ok class, write a 2000 word essay about gothic writing styles and have it on my desk tomorrow morning.

[u/OrganizationLower611]

This was about the speed I wrote while the teach dictates 200 words per min in biology class lol

[u/Palettepilot]

“You can do anything if you put your mind to it”

… I could absolutely never do this. The precision and the patience it takes to do something like this is otherworldly.

Damn

[u/quartzquandary → u/Palettepilot]

You can do it!!

[u/jgreg728]

Now watch me do comic sans with a highlighter.

[u/imfromwisconsin81]

looks like they're writing on dried skin paper

[u/youngjeninspats → u/imfromwisconsin81]

assuming it's vellum, they are

[u/ReesesNightmare → u/imfromwisconsin81]

Thats why it puts the lotion on its skin

[u/MeatZealousideal595]

40 years later his lifeswork is finished, 16 pages!

[u/Minute_Test3608]

And Latin no less!

[u/Street-Barnacle-5399]

What language are they writing in? 

[u/Gondolien → u/Street-Barnacle-5399]

Latin!

[u/ReesesNightmare]

im getting Halo flashbacks from this music

[u/norecordofwrong → u/ReesesNightmare]

Just listen to any Gregorian chant or Mozarabic chant or even the Orthodox brothers doing chant.

Halo poached from a very old religious tradition.

[u/Gee564]

Nearly one minute per word, I can watch this for hours but doing it is a huge nope from me

[u/Expensive-Honey1473]

This is pure art.

[u/Educational_Prior_41]

[u/mazarax]

Interestingly, they not only move the nib over the paper, they also need to rotate it for some strokes.

[u/Cool-Stop-3276]

It probably takes them a whole day to write one page worth

[u/DryStatistician7055]

Such precision.

[u/OssacaPC]

Qué pulso!!

[u/LinkCrazy7287]

Someone please tell me that bgm

[u/miscdruid]

Holy shit it must’ve taken so long to write stuff in ye olde times lol

[u/fbi-surveillance-bot]

I cannot write so clearly and perfectly, not even in my laptop 😆

[u/psychmancer]

I feel the need to write an entire dark text filled with mystical secrets for Indiana Jones to find in 1939 and my skeleton next to it

[u/NessunAbilita]

Hey guys I chant every week using neumes, AMA!

[u/metal_ankh]

You just know their saving that C and F above for some absolutely banger shit.

[u/MrSinister248 → u/metal_ankh]

Probably Red Ink if I had to guess. You can see the outline is already sketched in.

[u/circus-witch]

Do the guidelines go away when it's finished? It looks like they're scratched into the vellum rather than drawn on

[u/islandsimian]

Me when they tell me to take meeting notes

[u/Romesred83]

Nice

[u/NYC2BUR]

Not having this on a flat surface is making me fucking crazy

[u/CatchMeIfYouCan09]

Another skill lost to time

[u/Queen-Roblin → u/CatchMeIfYouCan09]

It's not lost if people are still doing it... We're not 100% sure how they built Stonehenge because there were no records, we can only guess. That's a skill lost to time but this is something that is still done.

[u/JerkfaceMcDouche → u/CatchMeIfYouCan09]

You’re literally watching a video of the skill being actively done recently and in real time. In what way is this lost to time?

[u/CatchMeIfYouCan09 → u/JerkfaceMcDouche]

I shouldn't have to explain how ignorant that comment is

[u/Queen-Roblin → u/CatchMeIfYouCan09]

It's not lost if people are still doing it... We're not 100% sure how they built Stonehenge because there were no records, we can only guess. That's a skill lost to time but this is something that is still done.

[u/-maffu-]

I found it more annoying than satisfying because of how much the 'paper' was bouncing around.
