In what ways did stained glass art influence manuscript illumination in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries?

I assume your on Aurora? If not then this is a general question. The thing is Stained glass art didn't completely influence or inspire the illumination. The question is not phrased very well. I know how hard it was to find info, so I am posting this. This was my answer- what I found: "Stained glass developed in PARALLED to manuscript illumination. The stained glass was striking and drew people's eyes-use of similar colors, drawing(shapes in the glass) and medallion frameworks were also used in manuscripts for a similar reason. Stained glass panels in churches and cathedrals often illustrated stories for a largely illiterare populace. To show those who were illiterare, or those who couldn't read very well, what was going on." -MH Please don't completely copywrite my answer:)

Who invented stain glass windows?

We do not know who invented stained glass, but it was probably invented in western Europe in the Early Middle Ages. Colored glass had been used earlier for various purposes, and colored designs made of substances other than glass had been used in window areas, but we have no record or evidence of stained glass windows. The earliest known reference to stained glass dates from 675 AD, at which time workers from France are recorded to have been brought to the monastery of St Peter at Monkwearmouth to glaze the windows. There is a link below.


Where do you sell a stained glass window from a home?

There are several ways of going about it. One would be to contact the stained glass company that provided them. They may know a church looking to install them and trying to find a good deal. Advertising in church publications is one of the best ways to do it, to find churches that are looking to find them. You could also sell them through an online auction house.

How do you cut stained glass?

I found a website [see below] with very good information. Here it is and I hope it helps you too. It explains more than stained glass cutting.COMMENT:Cutting of stained glass is almost a Zen experience. You have to know if the glass is warm enough, know the proper frying bacon sound that the scoring tool makes, and trust that when you flex with your thumbs that you won't sever anything important.When it works it feels great. When it doesn't you are left with an oddly shaped piece of pricey waste glass.The physical parts are:You scratch a line into the surface of the glass with a small tool with a carbide wheel at its tip. You then flex the glass slightly over the scratch . A crack follows the scored line and you have two pieces.Alternately there are glass bandsaws with a small diamond imbedded wire blade that lets you saw the glass like a board.
