you’re overcome by the sheer horror of c.16 of the 1st Statute of Westminster (3 Edw 1) 😳.

As Cambridge University Library’s 2nd ever Oschinsky Research Associate, I was thrilled to spend today working with one of the same that Dorothea Oschinsky researched! 😃 Thank you, Gonville & Caius College Library!

Detail of a page in a modern, printed book: page 460 in Dorothea Oschinsky’s Walter of Henley and Other Treatises on Estate Management and Accounting, published by Oxford’s Clarendon Press in 1971. The image shows two paragraphs of Latin text transcribed from a medieval manuscript: page 379 in Cambridge, Gonville and Caius College, manuscript 205.111.

Spent today looking at in St John’s College (Cambridge) Library’s Rare Books Reading Room—a wonderful space (📷 1: St John’s Chapel). This manuscript (📷 2) belongs to a group I discussed in my uOttawa MA thesis (sup.: Andrew Taylor); how amazing to see it in person.

Photo of a detail of a leaf in a medieval manuscript: folio 53 recto in Cambridge, St John’s College, manuscript A.7. 21 lines of French copied in black ink, in a precise, spiky hand, with the first 14 lines indented to accommodate an enormous decorative initial ‘E’ for ‘Edward’ (for this is England’s King Edward II). The letter is rendered in blue and white atop a black-painted square densely packed with fine, scrolling filigree vines in gold. At centre, superimposed atop the letter, is a painting of a king, his long brown hair and beard just beginning to grey beneath his golden crown. Clad in a pink, ermine-trimmed cloak over a vermilion robe, he sits enthroned—golden sceptre in one hand, golden orb in the other—gazing at the adjacent text with an expression of deep suspicion. Can the scribes be trusted? Only time will tell.

A 1201 charter of Hubert de Burgh—then Chamberlain to King John, later Chief Justiciar—bearing “the only known complete seal [from] his early career” ( https://dspace.library.uvic.ca/handle/1828/11170 ). Now held by my alma mater, University of Victoria.

A little bit of medieval manuscript for a treat: a leaf from The Ridware Cartulary (England, 1308–1309). Spot the lurking !

Zoomed-in photo of part of a leaf from a medieval manuscript: folio 8 verso in British Library, Egerton manuscript 3041. It shows the first few letters of 19 lines of Latin text copied in dark brown ink, and opening with a large, finely detailed, pen and ink miniature (in this image, occupying almost the entire photo). The drawing depicts a young king, enthroned, crowned, and grasping an orb in 1 hand and a sceptre in the other. Clean-shaven, he is shown straight-on, gazing out at us with a steely expression from his perch atop an intricately embroidered decorative bolster. 2 animals, perhaps lions?, rest at his feet. Surrounding him on all sides is a carefully detailed, rectangular frame resembling Gothic stonework.
