One of my favourite details in #ChristinedePizan 's manuscripts: a tiny marginal note in her own hand, saying 'ycy' ('ici' or 'here'), indicating to the illuminator where to place the image.
From @labnf.bsky.social MS fr. 848, the earliest surviving copy of the Epistre Othea, c. 1400.

Christine de Pizan wrote ca. 500 poems, and I'm on a mission to make them better known by translating them poetically into English. Here's a stab I had at one of her roundels/rondeaux. The meter and rhyme scheme are the same, though this one is more assonanced than rhymed.

Tonight! Looking forward to sharing some thoughts on Christine de Pizan and why Joan of Arc was so significant to her. Join me at Murray Edward’s College from 6:30pm #freeevent #cambridge #medieval

Hello Bluesky 👋
Just moved over from the other place. I work on Christine de Pizan and have written two books about her (one academic, one not so much). I dressed up as her once for a Zoom party and the post went kinda nuts. Will resharing it help me regain some followers over here…?
