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!
reddit.com/r/AskHistorian… 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…

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. ⬇️

reddit.com/r/AskHistorian… 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".
