In my latest investigation into records pertaining to Claude Bouton I have been looking at the document listed in the archival inventories as a receipt of payment made to Claude Bouton. The document dates to the 1st of May 1513.

Part 2 of my research into documents from 1512-1513 is almost complete. This letter appears to be from Claude & dates to mid 1513. It starts "Je Claude Bouton, escuier seigneur de Corberon, conseillier et Chamberlain de monsieur l'archduc d'austrice, prince despaigne, duc de Bourgoingne &C." 😍

Warwick Castle

Steeped in history, Warwick Castle was built by William the Conqueror and utilised heavily during the Wars of the Roses. It was during this time that the castle was owned by Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick (the Kingmaker). Kind Edward VI was also imprisoned here in 1469.

I adored There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak. Throughout it, The Epic of Gilgamesh is woven into characters stories. So I have added Gilgamesh: A New Translation of the Ancient Epic by Sophus Helle to my library. I love how reading one book, leads onto another, which leads onto another ❤️

A fabulous evening seeing @profaliceroberts.bsky.social A wonderful journey exploring the evolution of single-celled organisms to modern humans. It was so nice to be back in the realm of evolutionary biology, genetics and archaeology ❤️

Kirby Hall

Originally built for Humphrey Stafford between 1570 and 1575, Kirby Hall was then sold to one of Queen Elizabeth I's favourites, Sir Christopher Hatton. Kirby Hall was later frequently visited by King James VI and I.

Shakespeare's borrowed feathers by @freeburian.bsky.social

It is time to head back into non-fiction and I am already thoroughly enjoying this look at William Shakespeare and the playwrights that influenced his work.

The Byble in English, 1553.
This particular book is part of the collection of rare books at the Barr Smith Library. According to the University of Adelaide, this copy shows signs of charring and the inscriptions at the start of the New Testament detail of the book's provenance.
