I miss #MedievalTwitter and singing with my choir, #MedievalWomensChoir here in Seattle (no longer following COVID protocols). The choir is doing a fundraiser tomorrow with Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales as a theme. I don’t know the script, but I made these illustrations (after the Ellesmere ms.) as decorations. I’m thinking of titles or quotations, like “radix malorum est cupiditas.” Might make a set of greeting cards.
