Quote:So, the question remains. Are there surviving instances of Medieval manuscript books on vellum that are known to have been scribed by the author himself?
I have found it in 5 minutes, and it is actually quite late:

Parchment · 490 pp. · 22.5 x 15 cm · Hochheim near Worms, Dominican Cloister of Maria Himmelskron · about 1474
Composite manuscript from the Dominican Cloister Maria Himmelskron in Hochheim near Worms, containing works by Johannes Meyer; according to a note of ownership in his own hand, it was written in 1474.
So probably there are a lot of them.
Or do you mean vellum is not the same as parchment but only the finest, most luxurious and expensive parchment?
