Illuminated refers to the borders, illustrations, and ornamentation added to each page of text. Ornamentation included initials of chapters or paragraphs, paintings in margins, borders, and around text. Monastic monks began creating books by hand, taking the creation of books to an art form. Back in the old days, natural quill pens were used for the highly intricate and detailed work of the illuminated manuscripts.
