#MedievalTwitter hive mind: I'm looking for a digital surrogate of the El Escorial a-I-6 codex, a 14th-century copy of the letters of Pope Gregory the Great. Does anyone happen to have a copy?

My new article is out🔔 I explore traces of Ali Ufki’s humanist training, connecting it to François Rabelais and Antoine Galland, through an analysis of his curious Turkish-French notebook of dialogues. @EarlyModHistory doi.org/10.1163/157006…

I'm currently photographing SJC MS 82, a 15th c. Book of Hours. It includes this defaced historiated initial of Becket's assassination. If you'd like to read more about Becket in medieval manuscripts, check out this blog post on the SJC Library website: stjohnscollegelibraryoxford.org/2021/08/02/the…

I am pleased to say that I have co-edited one of the open access books published this year: The Cult of Saints and Legitimization of Elite Power in East Central and Northern Europe up to 1300. This book can be found here: brepols.net/products/IS-97….

I identified this fragment (AM 241 III α fol) this morning: a fragment of the ‘In Natalicio Sancti Olaui Regis et Martyris’ beginning with the (partial) response for the seventh lesson at first vespers. Best feeling ever!

Could any art historians or historians of architecture help me interpret this incomplete seventeenth-century image? I’m curious if it resembles a garden plan or if it might be based on direct observation.

Here is the OA link for my thesis. I’ve been holding onto it for a while. Like me, it is imperfect & fractured in parts. There are things left unsaid. But it was such a privilege to complete this project. doi.org/10.15126/thesi… The thesis discusses VAWG & conversion violence.

Can anyone please tell me what the word at the beginning of the second line is (underlined)? It makes sense for it to say mother but it looks like maccere or mactere to me, neither of which exist/fit. I think I am missing the obvious. #Latin #paleography

Big fan of this hanging (in the V&A) embroidered by nuns in Heiningen, Germany in 1516. It’s a great example of a nun’s theological and classical education on the eve of the Reformation. The name of the prioress ‘D[omi]na Elisabet’ and 58 nuns are embroidered on the piece
