Talk:泥金裝飾手抄本

我对这部分做了翻译，请这个条目的原作者参考一下。

原文：“An illuminated manuscript is a manuscript, often of a religious nature, in which the text is supplemented by the addition of colourful ornamentation, such as decorated initials, borders and the like. Motifs used in illumination are frequently taken from heraldry or religious symbolism.” 译文：泥金手抄本是手抄本的一种，其内容通常是关于宗教的，内文由精美的装饰来填充，例如经过装饰性处理的首字母和边框。泥金装饰图形则经常取材自中世纪纹章或宗教徽记。

原文：“For a list of pre-modern illuminated manuscripts please see List of Late Antique, Medieval, and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts.” 译文：“前现代泥金手抄本列表请参看晚古期、中世纪和文艺复兴泥金手抄本。”

原文：“Techniques —— Illumination was a complex and frequently costly process. As such, it was usually reserved for special books: an altar Bible, for example. Wealthy people often had richly illuminated "books of hours" made, which set down prayers appropriate for various times in the liturgical day.” 译文：“技术 泥金是一项复杂和昂贵的工艺过程，因此，通常应用在有特殊用途的书籍上，例如：祭坛上摆放的圣经。富人通常都拥有贵重的泥金祷告书，这样在礼拜天的很多时候都可以进行祈祷。”

原文：“Text —— In the making of an illuminated manuscript, the text was usually written first. Sheets of vellum, animal hides specially prepared for writing, were cut down to the appropriate size. After the general layout of the page was planned (eg initial capital, borders), the page was lightly ruled with a pointed stick, and the scribe went to work with ink-pot and either sharpened quill feather or reed pen.”

译文：“内文 在制作泥金手写本的过程中，通常首先抄写内文。按照一定的尺寸裁好皮纸（一种可以用来书写的动物皮）后，再经过总体的页面规划设计（首字母、边框等），将纸页用尖木棍固定，抄写者就用鹅毛笔或者苇杆笔沾着墨水开始抄写了。”

原文：“The script depended on local customs and tastes. The sturdy Roman letters of the early Dark Ages gradually gave way to cursive scripts such as Uncial and half-Uncial, especially in the British Isles, where distinctive scripts such as insular majuscule and insular minuscule developed. Stocky, richly textured Gothic script was first seen around the 13th century and was particularly popular in the later Middle Ages” 译文：“手抄本的书体风格和地方风格、口味紧密相关。黑暗时代早期刚劲的罗马体逐步让位给诸如安色尔体和半安色尔体这样的草书体，尤其是在不列颠群岛发展出了与众不同的书体海岛大写和海岛小写体。13世纪，结实、纹理丰富的哥德体也首次出现，在中世纪晚期特别流行。”

原文：“Images —— When the text was complete, the illustrator set to work. Complex designs were planned out beforehand, probably on wax tablets, the sketch pad of the era. The design was then traced onto the vellum (possibly with the aid of pinpricks or other markings, as in the case of the Lindisfarne Gospels). 译文：“图画——内文抄写完成后，插画师开始工作。对这些复杂的设计预先要进行策划，或许是使用衬有耐热耐腐蚀的金属板的蜡板草图。然后再影描到皮纸上（可能使用针孔或者其他的手段进行辅助，就像在《Lindisfarne福音书》做的那样。）

另外：泥金工艺应该作相应的解释。泥金和描金都是黄金进行装饰的工艺，泥金是将调制好的金泥堆图形进行填涂，而描金只是用金粉描线。Johner 16:59 2005年2月27日 (UTC)
