  6. The librarian at #NYAM was grabbing some rare books from me from the locked shelves in the reading room. (Some original copies of Laennec's work on lung disease.)

    When she pulled them down, another book caught her eye: a copy of a medical treatise from the 16th century, reprinted in Kyoto in the 17th century. It was a gorgeous book, but one which neither of our expertises could make heads or tails of.

    It reminds me of what my #medievalist colleagues always say: the medieval world is much larger, and much more vibrant than westernized accounts of that history would say.

  10. 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.’

  14. Panic in Detroit (David Bowie), as I had to hand over my "I am autistic"-button at the airport security... for it was a " sharp object" . 🙁

    But... I made it to #kalamazoo! Cannot wait for the International Congress on Medieval Studies to start!

    Of course, I also brought one of my flutes with me, for some neomedieval entertainment. 😉

  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.

  21. 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.

  23. 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.

    Cases of Noble Men and Women. Français 190_1
