  6. #229 – Mother Earth and myths of mining and agriculture

    https://open.spotify.com/episode/3EPWiaXRg2ns5NlY3bZMZS?si=988d1102da1b4bf4

    An episode from 5/11/26: Tonight, I read passages on what the discoveries of agriculture and metallurgy meant for human beings, as reflected in the mythologies and rituals and stories that grew up around them. These passages are taken from sections 12 and 15 of Mircea Eliade’s History of Religious Ideas, Volume 1: From the Stone Age to the Eleusinian Mysteries.

    After Eliade’s rich catalogue of stories and beliefs that came out metallurgy, I read a few passages from the Hebrew Bible—Isaiah, Ezekiel, Malachi, Proverbs, and finally Job—where metallurgy is discussed literally and as metaphor. Here, metallurgy becomes a symbol of transformation imposed by God on backsliding humanity, as well as enduring symbol of wisdom and understanding.

  7. Ceremonial de Coronación y Unción y Exequias de los reyes de Inglaterra.

    Elaborado en el escritorio de la abadía de Westminster, este códice reproduce el ritual de coronación de los reyes de Inglaterra y los funerales regios.
    Se desconoce el motivo y momento de su llegada al reino, aunque tradicionalmente se ha vinculado al reinado de Carlos III, que tuvo embajador en **Londres**.
    Aborda rituales separados para la coronación del rey y de la reina, como fue el caso del propio Carlos III y de su esposa Leonor de Trastámara.

    Westminster, hacia 1390-1399.
    Códice manuscrito y miniado sobre vitela, en latín (24 folios), con cubiertas de pergamino sobre alma de madera.
    Hoy se conserva en el Archivo Real y General de Navarra

  8. #228 – What Ted Bundy did on July 14, 1974

    https://open.spotify.com/episode/41G3UDRcedPq1hKReFQMxF?si=4cb82d7bf25e4cc0

    An episode from 5/4/26: Tonight, I read the story of the French journalist Jean-Paul Kauffmann and his capture and three year captivity at the hands of Hezbollah. While held prisoner, he was given many books to read to pass the time, and what I share comes from the spy novelist John le Carré’s memoir, The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life.

    Next, I read from Caroline Fraser’s Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. As I say, ever since listening to the audiobook I’ve come to think that there are true crime books, and then there is Fraser’s book: for those who can stomach this kind of material, it is essential. I read the pages describing Ted Bundy’s kidnapping, sexual assault, and murder of Janice Ott and Denise Naslund on the same day—July 14, 1974—from Lake Sammamish State Park in Washington.

  9. I need to brush up on my early Islam anyway, but this seemed timely.

    As the title says, basically a literary-cultural analysis of early versions of the Karbala story to show how it became such an important part of Shi'ite identity.

  10. www.openculture.com/2024/05/medieval-cats-behaving-badly-kitties-that-left-paw-prints-and-peed-on-15th-century-manuscripts.html

    Kitties walked and peed on medieval manuscripts. This article features a very angry note from a monk who nonetheless acknowledges that it was mostly his fault for leaving the book out in the first place.

  11. Skip the usual beaches and head inland to the #SilvesMedievalFair this summer. The Moorish capital of #Portugal completely changes its vibe. You will find musicians playing period instruments, and the historic castle glowing at dusk. Arrive early to grab food before the evening crowds hit.

  12. Antifonario de León.
    Realizado entre los siglos X y XII, es un libro litúrgico musical que contiene más de una centena de oficios del rito hispánico.
    Este manuscrito es el mejor ejemplo conservado de los antifonarios de la liturgia hispánica y una de las fuentes que más información aporta en la actualidad para comprender esta forma ritual, que de sustituyo por el rito romano desde el siglo XI.

  13. Medieval chronicler Walter Bower claimed Scots descended from an Egyptian princess named Scota. This striking origin story raises questions about how history and legend intertwine.

  14. Empiezo una serie (no sé si la terminaré) de entradas, dedicadas al Museo de Navarra.
    Tras estar un tiempo cerrado en alguna de sus plantas por motivo del amejoramiento de sus plantas, vuelve a estar abierto en su totalidad.
    Mi intención es ir poniendo fotografías tomadas de las exposición permanente, así como de las que habitualmente se programan temporalmente.
    Para esta primera entrada, tenemos un conjunto de relieves prerrománicos.
    Son del último tercio del siglo X, tallados en piedra arenisca.
    Su procedencia es del antiguo Monasterio medieval benedictino de San Miguel, en Villatuerta -Navarra-, del que hoy solo existe una ermita.

  15. Códice Rico.
    Cantigas de Santa María.

    Las cantigas de Santa María (entre 1270-1282) son un recopilatorio de más de cuatrocientas canciones dedicadas a la Virgen realizado en la corte de Alfonso X.

    En su creación intervinieron varios trovadores, entre ellos, el propio Alfonso X, presentándose como impulsor del proyecto en el prólogo, aparte de la intitulación de la obra.

    Las cantigas están escritas en galaico-portugués y narra historias milagrosas de la Virgen.

  17. “It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours, that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself”

    The Declaration of Arbroath – a letter from the Community of the Realm of Scotland to Pope John XXII, asserting Scotland’s independence & supporting Robert I as the rightful king – was signed #OTD, 6 April, 1320

  18. Started reading a book about books.

    "The Medieval Scriptorium - Making Books in the Middle Ages" by Sara J. Charles.

    A look at how medieval manuscripts were actually made from parchment to binding.

    It covers the workings of the scriptorium, the labor behind each book, and what it all reveals about monastic life.

  27. A consequence of 1066: language. French becomes the language of court and law, leaving lasting traces in English vocabulary.

  28. City Beautiful Blog takes a close look at the animal imagery inside St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue. The symbolism runs deep. From the pelican piercing its own breast to the unicorn as an allegory for the Incarnation, each creature carries a theological message rooted in medieval bestiaries. A thoughtful piece for anyone drawn to the intersection of art, architecture, and history.

  29. A key to 1066 is legitimacy: who believed they deserved the throne and how they justified it.

  32. One of the through-lines of 1066 is endurance: armies can't stay mobilized forever, supplies thin, winds refuse to cooperate and "waiting" becomes a weapon.

  33. During the Black Death, Europeans feared plague victims might return from the dead. Archaeologists discovered unusual face-down burials with knives, possibly meant to stop the undead from escaping their graves.

    Especially if a monk in #Venice in the mid-fifteenth century could do it well enough to create a #map of the world that *remains a reference for research to this day*. 😲
