Diese Woche war unser Doktorand Simon Seber ein letztes Mal im Staatsarchiv Würzburg, bevor es sich auf den Umzug aus dem Residenzschloss nach Kitzingen vorbereitet. Nach stundenlangem Sichten jahrhundertealter Aktenbände lud der Würzburger Weihnachtsmarkt noch zu einem kurzen Verweilen ein.

Mistakes happen! If you forget to insert that one sentence in a paragraph the solution is easy. Just draw a dude in a hood and he will pull the missing text to the right place with a piece of rope!

I just found this beautiful illustration of "Pygmies" going to war with the cranes in the #Cosmographia by #SebastianMünster from 1550.
He would be one of the last persons to follow the #medieval tradition regarding the "Pygmies".

Two #chess players in the beautifully illustrated #manuscript MS. Bodl. 264. (fol. 145v). Their game seems to be as interesting as the current #chessworldchampionchip.

This is one of my favorite illustrations in the Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel of 1493. It shows a small man fighting storks. They belong to the monstrous humanoids that are said to inhabit the farthest corners of the world.
