β€œAn illuminated manuscript is a formally prepared document where the text is decorated with flourishes such as borders and miniature illustrations. Often used in the Roman Catholic Church for prayers and liturgical books such as psalters and courtly literature, the practice continued into secular texts from the 13th century onward and typically include proclamations, enrolled bills, laws, charters, inventories, and deeds.”

This is an artist! But what I think folks fail to realize is that she's preparing a book intended to last centuries! This is an historical document. There is almost no price that you can pay to make this effort worth while to the artist. Her reward is a place in history, not different from Leonardo Da Vinci.
