How do I use my wax tablet?

Writing:

With the pointed side of the stylus, using light pressure in "downward movements", carve the letters into the wax.

Erasing:

The flat side of the stylus can be used to erase what has been written. To do this, take the stylus as shown and place your index finger on the flattened part of the stylus. In this way, you can smooth out the wax again with
gentle pressure in a "pulling" motion.

Fun fact

The term "tabula rasa" comes from Roman times and the use of the wax tablet. It means "smoothly scraped slate" and is used as a figure of speech for "clearing the air".

Medieval wax tablet out of real beech

Completely like in the Middle Ages: The writing tablet fabricated out of beech is filled with real beeswax and can be smoothed after writing on it with one end of the pencil. So it stays usable for a long time. The principal already the Romans used in Antiquity! But the original model form the Middle Ages comes from a book illumination from the Codex Manesse from the 14th century.

The Codex Manasse

The Codex Manesse, as well called Great handwriting of songs from Heidelberg was created between circa 1300 and 1340 in Zurich and is the most extensive collection of Middle High German poetry of songs and sayings.

dated to the Middle Ages around 1400
size: 18x9 cm
material: massive beech 8mm
equipment included: wooden pencil
Famous miniatures

Famous became the handwriting mainly because of its colourful miniatures filling entire pages, that were put in front of the lyrics of 137 singers - another, that could not be assigned to any poet, only consisted out of one feather's drawing. The miniatures show poets in idealised forms while courtly activities and are considered as the most meaningful document of Upper Rhine gothic book illumination.

Writing like in the Middle Ages

By the way the students of the Middle Ages often still wrote on wax tablets like that one. Students can experiment in the way, like it was in school of long past times. Advantage of the wax tablet: It does not matter, when there was made a mistake, because it is easy to smooth the wax again. Where students of today use ink eraser, it was a lot easier with the wax in as today! Be inspired and fascinated by the medieval wax tablets. They are a wonderful gift for all the friend of the medieval awareness of life.
