I few days ago I answered the question on @askhistorians about the changes astrology underwent since the Hellenistic Era. It's going to be uploaded on my blog but first, we need illuminations to go with it! Here's the delayed #MondayManuscript I promised!

Come with me as I peruse medieval manuscripts online and search for pictures to illustrate my blogpost. Where should we start? I say we start HERE on @GallicaBnF with the MS Latin 7321-A that belonged to Louis de Bruges: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv… 
Since this is a manuscript that was commissioned by Louis de Bruges, we find all of his usual marks of ownership like his creed "Plus est en vous" and his favourite siege weapon: the bombard cannon. They're just all over the place.

On this first summer #MondayManuscript thread of mine, I'd like to kick this off with the research of medieval tournament illuminations, as to illustrate my @askhistorians contribution on the topic. ⬇️

This will be a live tweeting experiment, so either come along the way with me (or us?) or come back once the thread is over 🥰⬇️
First stop at the @BDLSS with the wonderful Douce 308 which contains Jacques Bretel's "Tournoy de Chauvency".

Let's head to folio 107r where the poem begins and tells the story of a lavish tournament held in the northern parts France in 1285 which also involved many nobles from the Holy Roman Empire such as the Luxemburg brothers.
