3/26/08 Lots more additions to the
papermaking and metals portion of the timeline.
2/26/08 I've added tons of new updates to
the timeline, especially to the metals area. The timeline was getting so
big that I had to extend it to 33 pages or it would be too small to
read.
2/15/08 I just did a bunch of updates to
the timeline. Most of them are in the papermaking area but there are
others too. Did you know that Gutenberg was a metalsmith or that
Leonardo invented the rolling mill? Amazing confluences of history.
If this type of thing fascinates you, I
highly recommend the TV series (available on DVD) called "Connections."

12/25/07 This is so cool!!!
I started this timeline early in 2007 to see
how metals, books, paper, calligraphy, glass and enamels developed in
relation to one another. I get the information as I'm reading, well,
anything (I'm kind of a perpetual student). I'm
constantly updating the the timeline so check back periodically to see if a newer version has
been posted.
It's made to be printed out (23 pages) and
then taped together on the 8.5" side of the pages. I originally used it as a scroll but found that it was too hard to go from one
page to another quickly. Now I fold it accordion style and it reads like
a book. You don't have to print it. You can just store it on your hard
drive and refer to it when you need to.
This is a gift from me to you, so if you do something really cool with it,
please make a second one and send it
to me!
Note: This is just a personal exercise for
myself. Please do not rely on this information
for anything important as it is not guaranteed in any way.
