I have been researching medieval paint for a jewelry box I'm entering in the Boar's Head A&S Pentathlon (so I can make it a 2-for!). I have found a couple videos showing it done.
Cennino D' Andrea Cennini. The Craftsman's Handbook. The Italian Il Libro dell' Arte, is another great source. The 2nd video takes it's "recipe" from Cennini. It has info about everything from making egg tempera paints to preparing panels for painting with gesso. Things to take a look at when I'm ready to go forward on this.
