Welcome! Although this blog wasn’t difficult to set up, it was hard to name. After much pondering and a few cups of coffee to help me along, I decided to call this space on the internet “infinite vellum.” You see, I’m a medievalist by trade and at heart. I love really old manuscripts, which were often created in scriptoria across medieval Europe on a material called vellum. I tried to think of this new blog space as an extension of that idea…..hence the name “infinite vellum.”
