Prior to the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg around 1450-1455, the process of producing and multiplying copies of books was strictly manual and performed by skilled craftsmen : the scribe calligraphed the text and various artists or specialized artisans decorated the manuscript.  Illumination was carried out only after the text had been transcribed, and was applied to the spaces left blank by the scribe in his layout of the text.  The illuminations in the collage sheet above are from the Middle Ages.
