Hurrah! The digital images of this amazing manuscript at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social are now available www.uu.nl/nieuws/ridde...

I missed this amazing news a few weeks ago. Buchelius made drawings of some castles around Utrecht that were still in their 'medieval state' when he saw them in the first half of the 17th century, such as Oud-Wulven, Zuilen and Zuilenstein. See utrechtuniversity.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1476158...

So it is real! Excellent work done by @livunipress.bsky.social #medievalsky #chivalry

Had a good day this week in the archive of #Breda exploring the relationships of the Nassa-dynasty with the town. Unfortunately it seemed as if many town accounts had taken a bath. Some of them restored in 1967 for 75 guilders!

Today in the Brussels’ archives I encountered some amazing initials in the account of the receiver of Brabant of 1450 with the coats of arms of Philip the Good and Isabel of Portugal. Not entirely correct but hey this is a simple financial document ⬇️
