I will be giving a talk about Mediaeval Marginalia at the Yellow Book Bar on the 20th April, as part of Once & Future Fest!
The pages of mediaeval manuscripts bristle with strange creatures, bizarre scenes, and sumptuous ornamentation. Hidden among prayers and Biblical texts are fascinating insights into the mindset, lore, and superstitions of mediaeval peoples.
On this journey through the landscape of mediaeval illumination, we will explore how a centuries-old style continues to speak to our imagination today. Hope to see you there!
