 THE ORIGINS OF
READING JOURNALS

In the earliest days of written knowledge,

scrolls and parchments allowed readers to make
notes and interact with texts. This marked the
beginning of the practice that would evolve into
reading journals. As we journey through
history, each era leaves its unique mark on this
timeless practice.
 A GLIMPSE INTO
THE MIDDLE AGES

In the Middle Ages, medieval illuminated manuscripts

were works of art that combined religious devotion with
intricate illustrations and vibrant colors. While primarily
religious, these manuscripts also allowed for personal
reflection through the practice of marginalia—marginal
notes, comments, and personal thoughts that marked the
reader's journey through the text. This intersection of art,
spirituality, and literature offers a unique glimpse into the
evolution of reading journals during this period and
beyond.
