For those interested, ‘Publishing in a Medieval Monastery: The View from Twelfth-Century Engelberg’ by Ben Pohl is free to access until the 20th of July from Cambridge University Press.

‘This Element contributes to the burgeoning field of medieval publishing studies with a case study of the books produced at the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg under its celebrated twelfth-century abbot, Frowin (1143–78). Frowin was the first abbot of Engelberg whose book provision policy relied on domestic production serviced by an internal scribal workforce, and his tenure marked the first major expansion of the community's library. This Element's in-depth discussion of nearly forty colophons inscribed in the books made for this library during Frowin's transformative abbacy offers a fresh perspective on monastic publishing practice in the twelfth century by directing our view to a mode of publication that has received only limited attention in scholarship to date.’

I'm glad it's not a Baker's Dozen bat.

Finally got to see that medieval fantasy movie, "Pipeweed Bear."

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.

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.
