The film is about the work of the scribe who produced the twelfth-century codex known as Textus Roffensis (The text of Rochester), one of the most important manuscripts in Britain for what it reveals about English society and law in the early medieval period (c.600-c.1100).
Dr Monk, my twenty-first-century alter ego, wrote and performed the narration for the film, and he didn't let the side down. But the real magic lies in the wizardry of FUZZY DUCK, the film production company based at Media City in Salford Quays (North West of England).
From where those fellows get their enchanted gifts of visual manipulation I wouldn't like to say, but the result is a wondrous, close-up exploration of the codex's marvellous scribal peculiarities.
I'm afraid that's all I can tell you for now, as all is wrapped up in a shroud of secrecy. I will reveal details of the exhibition as soon as Dr Monk is forthcoming. As things stand, it is due to open January/ February 2016.
