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.’

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. 😉

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.

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.

Some say vampires don't exist.
But this manuscript has an image of Nosferatu
Or … maybe it's Yoda
Who knows about these medieval artists sometimes.

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.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a forty day tour, a forty day tour.The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.Apocalypse de S. Jean. Français 13096, f. 11v

This was captioned as "Punishment of the slothful ( top ) and the lusful ( bottom )
To me, it's the greatest combination seeing it's hybrid ( man / chicken monster ) riding a snail.
Marginalia doesn't get better than this one.

Jack took a job as a letter messenger.
He'd walk from town to town where people would either pin letters to him or check if they got mail.
Not much of a job, but he got lots of exercise.

I’m a #musicologist and #medievalist, an early morning writer and a regular woods-walker, and a generalist in the classroom (#Shakespeare; #pandemics). I research women’s monastic communities, especially their libraries. I’m currently focused on the Tertiaries of Thalbach in #Bregenz, Austria, with a side-tour to the #chaplains of the city. I’ve published on women as scribes and on historiography, but a lot of my current engagement is with German prayer-books.
