Welcome to March! Here are March pages from calendars from a variety of books of hours from Philadelphia (and one non-book of hours...). The labor of the month for March is "Weeding" (usually) and the Zodiac is Aries, which is represented by a ram. 🔗 1: bit.ly/3WFYXZc 🔗 2: bit.ly/33wlRcI

B. Rae Grosz's wonderful lecture on the Pied Piper of Hamelin, I realized that it was this legend, more specifically the book "What Happened in Hamelin", that made me curious about medieval history. At 11 reading about rat beating, ergot poisoning, and child abduction 🤣 youtu.be/2bTOqcTbePA?...

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern. #upcycling

Do you pick a word to embrace for the new year? I've been using the same one for quite awhile now. It may be harder to achieve in coming days, but needed all the more. So, I'm picking it again. #newyear #newyearsresolution #hygge #hyggeligt

Perceforest is very long and some passages are repetitive, but the overarching stories, fictionalized origin story/history of Arthurian legend are imaginatively fun! I recommend Nigel Bryant's translation.
