There are some tools you will need for creating manuscripts; I have sent a good quantity of each of these:
-awls for pricking the margins of the sheets;
-stylii for ruling and drawing, made of metal or bone;
-penknives for making quills and fixing mistakes in the text by scraping the parchment (MMM, n.d.)
-inkhorns or inkpots for holding inks of different colours (MMM, n.d.)
-gold leaf for illumination and burnishing tools to polish it –as you know the burnishing tool is simply a dog’s tooth attached to a shaft, and you should be able to easily make more of these as needed.(MMM, n.d.)
-brushes for applying colour to illuminations; sometimes you will use a quill but sometimes it is better to use a brush made from the fine hair of a miniver or calaber, rolled and placed into the barrel of a feather. (MMM, n.d.)
