Curieux, particulièrement intéressé par tout ce qui a trait aux sciences humaines, surtout l'Histoire et sa composante médiévistique. J'éprouve également de l'appétence pour l'actualité et les relations internationales.

Nov 17: Feast of Hild (c.614-680), abbess. She succeeded Heiu in charge of Heruteu (Hartlepool) before founding, or refounding, Streanæshalch (Whitby), where she championed the 'Irish' dating of Easter at the synod in 664. She later founded a monastery at Hacanos (Hackness). #medievalsky

Here's stanza #81 in my ongoing online translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This was a hard stanza to translate, but I'm fairly happy with what I ended up with.

Here is a very cool object: a volume with stacked paper boards that have come apart, revealing a manuscript fragment between the print waste! (Rare Books PA2317 .E7 1546). The manuscript leaf is from a psalter 🌟

Psalter of Oswald, aka the Ramsey Psalter Harley MS 2904 from my copy of John O. Westwood’s Facsimiles of Anglo-Saxon and Irish Manuscripts (1868). Close to the largest book in my personal library, thus the pencil for scale rather than the usual coin. #medievalsky

You are building a guild hall in 1357.
What materials are you going to need?
60 trees from Bolton Percy for 27s. 6d., 100 oaks from Thorpe Underwood for £21, 14 tons of stone from Tadcaster and 20,000 bricks for £6 from the Carmelite Friars of York.
That should keep you going!
