  5. An exquisite glimpse into premodern Burma, this illuminated manuscript encapsulates Buddhist ordination rites with its lavish calligraphy and vibrant celestial beings. How does the intricate design reflect the spiritual essence of the text?

  6. I recently finished reading Richard Wollheim's "Painting As An Art".

    I found much of it stimulating in the close attention paid to particular pictures and thought provoking with regard to his theory of "seeing in" as the way to understand our perception of paintings.

    On the other hand, his use of psychoanalytic theory left me with questions.

    Surprisingly, his use of this theory reminded of some recent reading of mine in evolutionary psychology. Both Wollheim and the evolutionary psychologists stress the significance of a common human nature and are inclined to downplay the importance of systems of symbols or culture in general.

    I do think that a substantive concept of human nature makes sense, and I am open to the possibility of evolutionary psychology and psychoanalytical theory contributing to an understanding of of human nature.

    Altogether less agreeable to me is the tendency of these theories to smuggle in a social ontology in which culture is merely the creation of atomized individuals. One can believe in the evolved nature of the mind and allow for the possibility of certain kinds of psychic forces at work in the individual without denying the importance, still less the existence, of social facts. Thinking about languages as at once learned and used by individuals but also existing as entities external to those individuals is helpful here.

  11. The #illuminatedManuscript #Khamsa of Nizami #BritishLibrary, Or. 12208 is a lavishly illustrated manuscript of the Khamsa or "five poems" of #NizamiGanjavi, a 12th-century Persian poet, which was created for the #MughalEmperor #Akbar in the early 1590s by a number of artists and a single scribe working at the Mughal court, very probably in Akbar's new capital of #Lahore in North #India, now in #Pakistan. Apart from the fine #calligraphy of the #PersianText.

  12. Yusuf and Zulaikha (يوسف وزليخة), unknown scribe, 1880–1910, Kashmir.⁠

    This Muslim story was adapted in Persian by Jami in the 15th century. See the entire illuminated manuscript in the Online Archive: oa.letterformarchive.org/item?

  16. Finally finished two rush projects and this allows me to continue on with the Marginalia Tarot Deck.

    Today it's the Eight of Coins which is based on The Romance of the Rose. Français380.

    It's a real learning experience on duplicating all these medieval painting styles digitally.

  17. William #Byrd: Psalm 6, Lord in thy rage.
    From Songs of Sundry Natures, 1589.

    Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
    Alison Kinder: bass #viol
    Tamsin Lewis: tenor viol

    #Psalm 6 is the first of the 7 penitential psalms, and is often found in books of hours accompanied by an image of the King David, kneeling in prayer with his #harp set aside.

    Image: page from an #illuminatedmanuscript showing the penitent David, and the #Latin words of Psalm 6, Domine ne in furore.
    From Aussem Hours, #16thCentury, W.437.45R

  18. So much going on here. Love the face on the shield of the satyr and the hybrid man with the unicorn horn. No idea what they're fighting about.

  19. This is a two-for-one

    First, it's another one of those "Pink Barbie Castles" we've seen in many manuscripts.

    Second, it's some more of that wonderful Escher architecture which I love.

  21. The origin of the roadside billboard had its roots in 15th century France.

    They caused many a fatal accident by distracting traveling knights on their way to … well, wherever knights were off to.
