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.

Hi Twitter, #MedievalTwitter and #TwitterStorians!

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. Digital Bodleian, Tournoi de Chauvency, Douce 308
