Medieval Manuscript with Wax Seal Cookie

Gorgeous! I went ahead and added you to the challenge clip set anyway, as the transfer is stunning! (You're right, the challenge required both of Manu's transfers, but I also recently added Ryoko's post with one transfer to the set.) This way, when people browse the clip set in the future, they will be sure to see your cookie (and Ryoko's) and how you applied Manu's technique to it. I'm also copying @Manu biscotti decorati to be sure she sees this post. Her challenge recap post and reel are already done (we must do them days in advance in order to be ready to post on Saturday), so we unfortunately can't include you in them, but, again, more people will see this cookie if also in the challenge clip set. Well done!

P.S. Also a couple of questions for more challenge learning:
(1) What tool and edible ink did you used for the lettering? It's so delicate!
(2) What medium did you use for the ribbon?
(3) And what size piping tip for the details on top of the seal?

Thanks so much, @Julia M. Usher!

The lettering is done freehand using a pen from the company Rainbow Dust. It has a very fine tip on one end and a much wider one on the other. The ribbon is made of fondant and the detail on the seal was piped with a number 1 tip.

Thanks - yeah, those Rainbow Dust pens are great, as are those sold by Terry at Tweets Cookie Connection.

They both have very fine tips, although I prefer those from Rainbow Dust since they are labeled as being 100% edible. 

I love ancient manuscripts and wax seals, of course, and this one is stunning! The piped detail on top is flawless! What is the size of the wax seal?

Thank you Manu 🙂. The seal is roughly 3.5 in/9 cm in diameter, so fairly large, though smaller than the original.

Soooo very gorgeous dear  @Dixie Dust and Powdered Sugar

Yes, of course, forgot that Terry's are just nontoxic, which doesn't equate to edible.
