Today's #MicroMonday is a close-up of musical notes - called 'neumes' - written over a red staff on the last page of Ms. Codex 1248, a late 15th century Italian Liturgical miscellany likely written for a monastic teacher. #medieval #manuscript #music #liturgy #15thc #neumes #italy #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram
Today's #FragmentFriday is LJS 502, a late 11th-early 12th century fragment of Saint Ambrose's De mysteriis in protogothic script. Trimmed and used in a binding, the text on the verso side has been damaged by the use of an adhesive. #medieval #fragment #leaf #11thc #12thc #saintambrose #bindingwaste #binding #protogothic
Our catalogue calls him "grotesque" but we think he's pretty cute 😍
Say hello to LJS 27, a pedagogical treatise on commercial and practical arithmetic, with extensive use of arabic numerals and problems illustrated with scenes from daily life. It was written by Pietro Paolo Muscarello, in Nola, Italy, in 1478. #medieval #manuscript #mathematics #historyofmathematics #illustration #arthistory #bookhistory #rarebooks #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram
Our very own Oddish! This little guy is on f. 42 in LJS 419 - Erbario, aka an illustrated herbal, or book of plants, written in Italy in the 15th century.
Today's #MicroMonday is a wee corner of a penwork frame drawn around the Lord's Prayer on the last page of Ms. Codex 1248, a late 15th century Italian Liturgical miscellany likely written for a monastic teacher. #medieval #manuscript #bookhistory #bookstagram #penwork #illustration #illumination #decoration #italy #liturgy #librariesofinstagram
