Additional links on the subject of medieval manuscript illumination here.
Medieval Illuminators and Their Methods of Work indicates that these illustrations in a mid-13th century Bible are of a scribe and an illuminator at work, but I'm not sure that he’s painting in a book, rather than on a panel (like these painters).
- A young illustrator named Everwinus at work while his master Hildebertus attempts to scare off a pesky mouse, The City of God (Municipal Library of Prague A XXI/1. fol. 153v), first quarter of the 12th century.
This pair of workers also appear in an earlier sacrimentary, where Everwinus patiently holds Hildebertus’ paint-pots.
- Brother Rufillus of Weissenau in The Lives of the Saints (Bibliotheca Bodmeriana Cod. 127, fol. 244), c. 1170-1200
- The tower scriptorium Of Tábara: the scribe and illuminator lay out their folios, while a novice trims parchment (PML M.429, fol. 183r), c. 1220
- An illuminator at work, Mare historiarum (BNF Latin 4915, fol. 1), 1447-1455; see Copistes, enlumineurs et mécènes for discussion of the various details.
- Bartolomeo Neroni (at right), a gradual (Biblioteca Civica Berio Cf. 3.2, fol. 1), 1531
- Self-portrait of Simon Bening, 1558 (V&A P.159-1910)
