Het lijkt er toch steeds meer op dat Eppo Bruins de meest incompetente en opportunistische minister van OCW is die Nederland in mensenheugenis heeft gehad. Eerst een sector helemaal in crisis storten, en dan, terwijl er een miljard bezuinigd wordt, >

Delighted to see Henry VIII has become the new arch villain in British royal history. I’m crediting Six: The Musical and Wolf Hall as key contributors to the undoing of Tudor propaganda!

Eppo sloopkogelt door.

Een voorjaarsnota die voor academisch Nederland een ‘silent spring’ aankondigt.

Welke universiteit valt straks als eerste om?

Getting ready to teach my medieval manuscripts class this semester. First week of class we learn...the beautiful, condensed language of catalogue entries. I made this annotated graphic of one to show everything we learn from this brief entry.
A screenshot of a catalogue entry from the Cambridge University Library illuminated manuscript catalogue. I have overlaid this with my annotations. Here I will describe the original text and then my annotation on it, which I will precede with the word, NOTE. It goes like this: 178. Note: number of the manuscript as it appears in this catalogue Add. 4086. Note: Shelfmark see also Pl. LIX. Note: "plate" means an image, usually in color, elsewhere in the catalogue Horae. Note: Contents or title of the text in this manuscript, in this case a book of hours Use of Sarum. Note: Use refers to the rites as practiced ina certain region; here Salisbury (Sarum is Latin) England, London. Note: place where the manuscript was made S. xiv with a superscript 4/4. Note: S means century from Latin for saeculum; xiv is the 14th century; and 4/4 means the fourth quarter of the century. This whole thing means the manuscript was made in the fourth quarter of the 14th century. Parchment. Note: the writing support (what the pages are made of) ii + 121 + 1 fols. Note: this manuscript starts with two flyleaves, has 121 folios, and ends with 1 endleaf. 165 x 122 mm (133 x 90 mm). Note: these two separate measurements refer, respectively, to the size of the folios and the dimensions of the area on each ruled for text. ruled in red ink, below top line. Note: below top line is a method for determining whether a manuscript was copied before or after c.1220. rubrics, catchwords, 2o folio ipse est. Note; Secundo folio means the first words on the second folio of the manuscript, often the way a manuscript was catalogued in the Middle Ages.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern.

Sewing pattern for part of a shirt. It is clearly made from a dark brown manuscript page with small lettering written in two columns.

Oh wow oh wow oh wow LOOK AT THESE AMAZING CAROLINE MANUSCRIPTS! The 9th-c. MS known as the "Leiden Aratea" from Charlemagne's court (Zodiac! Constellations! Earth-centric planetary system (sort of!)!) is so f'ing incredible it deserves its own thread. hdl.handle.net/1887.1/item:...
