  1. Oft kopiert: Der Liber insularum Archipelagi von Cristoforo Buondelmonti ist ein Schlüsselwerk für die wissenschaftliche Erforschung des Mittelmeerraums!

    👉 dfmfa.hypotheses.org/3017

    Beatrice Blümer hat mit einem Stipendium des DHIP Abschriften des Werkes untersucht und beleuchtet am Beispiel der Insel Santorini das Kopiervorgehen.

  2. Nur original ist legal! Das gilt auch für mittelalterliche Handschriften. ☝️

    Am Samstag, 11.11., geht pünktlich zum #EinBlick-Ausstellungsstart um 10 Uhr das Video mit den beiden Kurator*innen Dr. Christoph Mackert und Katrin Sturm online. Sie verraten, mit welchen Mitteln wir den Betrug aufdecken konnten ▶️ youtube.com/watch?v=DQs-Cat3wk

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. A fashionable lady, riding a fire-breathing dragon, holding a shield with a bat, there's a snake crawling up her arm, she's wearing a shiny helmet with some fringe, AND ( to top it off ) she's got bees in her bonnet.

  8. 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

  9. 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.

    Calendrier des berges, Paris. c1493

  11. 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.

  12. Hello to another #Caturday.

    Here, the secret council of cats continues it's plan of world domination with lessons on purring, demanding food, and being extremely cute.

    "Just stay the course. We are already in command. Let's just keep it that way.""

  13. I share my birthday with the feast day of Thomas Becket, the day on which he was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral. Here the events of 29 Dec 1170 are carved into a font from Lyngsjö Church, Sweden - on display in 2021 at the British Museum Becket exhibition. We see his murder at the hands of the knights and Edward Grim (one of the witnesses) taking a wound on the arm #medieval #becket #histodons #history #sverige #MedievalMastodon #saint #saints #ThomasBecket

  14. @erik_kwakkel Not satisfied with plagiarising, this academic doubled-down by using an invented staff member to field the complaint. Several people say they have made her university's Research Integrity office aware, so hopefully they'll investigate. #PublicationEthics #UniversityOfZurich #CarlaRossi #Plagiarism #AcademicPublishing #AcademicMisconduct #MedievalMastodon

  15. The #medieval seal of #Shoreham in Sussex refers to the town as Hulkesmouth, after the #ship type depicted, a hulc.

    Wonderful discussion of the many images & archaeological hopes from the #NewportShip project:
    'In Search of the Hulc...' newportship.org/wp-content/upl

    I haven't seen details of the #clinker #hull of the #13thCentury #MortarWreck in #Dorset; #MedievalMastodon is it a hulc?

  16. Hey! #Histodons! It's Johan Huizinga's 150th birthday on 7 December! Get ready for a #HoeraHuizinga party? 🎂

    We did a virtual reading group at the centenary of the Autumntide of the Middle Ages. Maybe we all share some snippets on the 7th of December?
