I have an embroidered Roen Manicule on my Etsy site! For those who are interested in medieval illumination and/or want an embroidery design but don’t have the time to do one yourself. Shipping from Australia.

Artists wouldn’t dare to paint Jesus, or other Biblical babies, as weak. That meant hundreds of years of Medieval tots looking like furious old men.

Turns out that #Cologne's coat of arms has a quite complex history. If you want to learn what a #martyr and #bees have to do with it, I recently summarized some information about it on my blog: 🌍 https://www.fabriziomusacchio.com/blog/weekend_stories_told/2024-02-10-cologne_coat_of_arms/

The Golden Chamber in St. Ursula, . The room stores the countless so-called Ursula relics, making it the largest ossuary north of the Alps.

You all know the famous medieval painting of a nun picking penises from a tree, right?

I embroidered it for @Rhube for Christmas. And now she's received it, I can post it everywhere!

The original is a piece of marginalia by Jeanne de Montbaston, nun and illuminator, and was made in the C14th.

I'll put a safe for work crop here, and full images downthread under a CW.

This Holy Trinity is giving Zaphod Beeblebrox vibes! A third head certainly seems useful..

TIL there were guide dogs in medieval Europe!

This image from a 13th century French manuscript in the British Library shows a blind man being lead by a dog.

Hooray for Dr Krista Milna, who researches this topic and has just been awarded a grant to do more!

An assortment of some very adorable hedgehogs from illuminated manuscripts, mostly dating from the 14th and 15th c.

Snails and rabbits get a lot of attention, but personally I love the hedgehog. Especially the ones with stuff on their spines.

A giant vulva and labia, wearing a crown, and holding a crossbow and what is either a firey torch or a flogger/whip/cat of nine tails, rides on horseback

Medieval brooches sure were something.

I'll post about the life, times & legacy of Elizabeth de Burgh, #LadyOfClare, a spirited English noblewoman of the #14thCentury whose legacy includes #ClareCollege & #ClareHall at #CambridgeUniversity. She & her remarkable network of friends were influential patrons of books, music, institutions & all the arts in a #GoldenAge for English craftsmanship.
