i think the spike through the head is not marginalia, but probably a real illustration. w/e

All I can imagine now is the head of a monastery looking over another fine piece of work completed by his monks but then finding one of the dick doodles and cursing silently to himself.

Thank God, it will soon be dark.


Now I've written the whole thing: for Christ's sake give me a drink.


As the harbor is welcome the sailor, so is the last line to a scribe.


This is sad! O little book! A day will come in truth when someone over your page will say, 'The hand that wrote this is no more.'


Oh, my hand.


can we get some medieval monks to board here?

that wyvern is cool but I was thinking more like these only drawn a long time ago. same pose and everything.

I think it was part of some famous manuscript but my memory is shot :?


I love this website: http://bestiary.ca/index.html
Isidore of Seville [7th century CE] (Etymologies, Book 12, 5:1-18): The worm is born from flesh or wood or any earthly thing, but without intercourse. It is sometimes born from an egg, like a scorpion. There are worms of the earth (scorpion, beetle, multipede, snail), air (spider), water (leech), clothing (moth), flesh (many kinds), wood (termite), and leaves (silkworm, caterpillar). The leech (sanguisaga) is a water worm that drinks blood; when it is full of blood it vomits it up so that it can drink more. The beetle (cantharis) is an earth worm that fills bladders and causes inflamation when applied to the human body. The multipede (multipes) has its name from its many feet; it is born under a rock from liquid and earth. The snail (limax) is considered unclean because it lives in mud. The silkworm (bombyx) is a leaf worm from whose thread silk is made. The caterpillar (eruca) is a leaf worm that is named from its gnawing (erondendo) on plants. Termites (teredones) are wood worms, called from the Greek word for "gnawing" (terendo). The moth (tinea) is a clothing worm that has name from holding (teneat) onto what it eats. There are many flesh worms (vermes carnium) that infect the intestines, head and skin. Like snakes the worm does not move with distinct steps, but by stretching and contracting its body.

Are you accessing these through a private online collection or something more readily available... Like something my university may have a subscription to? I was amazed when I found out I can read New Scientist for free, something like this would really blow my mind.
