A Testament in Stone: Guillem Castelló’s Columns in the Cloister of Vic
Have you ever walked through the cloister of Vic Cathedral and noticed a group of three slender Gothic columns marked at their base with a small coat of arms depicting a castle? These aren’t just decorative elements. They are the material legacy of a fourteenth-century canon who ensured his memory would be carved into the very stones of the cathedral he served.

See a new post from Valentina Costantini @wallolita.bsky.social‬ on binding #waste, #reuse of parchments and our mining work for the #ArtandInequality project
Waste and Reuse: unexpected covers and music on 14th c. notarial books
Siena State Archives, Notarile Antecosimiano 54 (1349) Waste and reuse are key topics in modern consumer society, but in the Middle Ages, there was no discussion around them. Considering the high cost of producing new objects, everything had to be reused, recycled, or transformed down to the very last bit. Parchments were made from animal skins (sheep, goat, or calf) and were therefore very durable and quite expensive.
