Soon to be studying history at Birkbeck. I like books, Early Modern culture and pretending to be a Tudor on the weekends.

Ugh.
Go to @jorvikviking.bsky.social instead, they have real people who know loads. Or one of the re-enactments - @kentwellhall.bsky.social had Vikings last weekend - where you will get a much richer multisensory experience and there will be people doing real things.

Some of the more extravagant hands in Augustino De Siena’s writing book. Taken from my beautiful handbound facsimile by Merrion Press. The original copy was in the British Library at the time of printing and was published in 1568.

My writing a few months ago. Augustino De Siena’s writing book is a beautiful piece of handwriting history
Practice makes perfect!
In preparation for #Kentwell1536 one of our #Tudors has been working on his ‘English secretarie’ hand from Augustino de Siena’s 1560 book.
Goal is to be as neat as Cranmer (or Cranmer’s clerk.)

Found a dope game table today. It's 500 years old so hopefully they'll sell it to me on the cheap.

Prayer books in the Middle Ages & early modern period were used by people over generations. Personal objects, they are commonly the site where ppl left notes about important events, as here, in a late 15th- or early 16thC hand which wrote in the November calendar page , "My Moder departed to God."
