  1. St Matthew the Evangelist signed and dated by Cremona artist Vincenzo Campi in 1588 -- from St Francis church in Pavia. Get a load of those angel feathers. Wow! For the chapel of 16th local (#Pavia) Matteo Beccaria who arranged to be buried there. #art #16thc #Renaisance

  2. Another blog post on that Thalbach Segen that I wrote about last week -- a "blessing" to be performed by the Sister during the mass. This gives the second half, and an assessment of how she works through spatial acts, equivalences, stacking of salvic things, and completeness articulated through binaries. She is creating whole-world protection for herself. Nifty!

  6. I've been writing blog posts about some of the interesting prayers from the Thalbach prayerbook, a 16thc manuscript probably copied by a Tertiary sister in the Bregenz convent -- nearly 300 pages in a single hand. These prayers, I'd argue, give an important glimpse into 16th c Franciscan spirituality. Today's contribution: a prayer on Mary's sorrows as redemptive

  8. A blog post today on the Seelengärtlein (Hortulus animae), one of the hugely popular prayerbooks of the 16th century. Both a bit about how to find copies and a bit about indexing the thing.

  10. Philip Sidney dedicated his epic poem "Arcadia" to his sister, Mary, Countess of Pembroke, and Harvard has a copy with an inscription saying it belonged to her—long thought to be fake. But it did belong to her and in fact has annotations in her handwriting.
