It is an odd and wonderful thing to have someone request you for a specific scroll. Even more fun when the two requesting it are the Laurel of the recipient and his wife, who also is the Clerk Signet! I was honored to be asked, and I went to work fulfilling the task. The request was for white vine. The exemplar was De Re Rustica by Columella, Lucius Junius Moderatus. Created in Milan, Italy, roughly 1469. The original was done on vellum with the size of each leaf being roughly 7.4" x 10.6". I used Pergamenta for my substrate. The other materials were 23k gold leaf on gesso, gouache, and Higgins ink.
