This is the account for Manuscript, Rare Book & Archive Studies (MARBAS) at Princeton. We're an initiative dedicated to sharing resources and techniques related to textual artifacts produced before 1600. That's manuscripts, archival documents, early printed books, papyri, inscriptions, the list goes on! We're all about premodern texts and the multitudes of materials that have carried them.
@medievodons, does anyone know about #rabbits in #14thCentury England? I read that a coveted royal licence of 'free warren' was required to keep & hunt rabbits. However, the accounts of the #LadyOfClare record in 1338/9 the receipt of rabbits from various manors which had no such licence. More details available but... would the rabbits have been caught legally? on what terms? or domesticated? Thoughts welcome! #medieval#rabbit#question
🐰 Some of my rabbit questions have been answered! & now I will look out for pillow mounds in the archaeological landscape, & recognise them in medieval manuscripts, thanks to this article by Haydn Brown: https://norfolktalesmyths.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/the-rabbit-in-east-anglia-revisited/
& its main source, the linked paper by Mark Bailey, 'The Rabbit and the Medieval East Anglian Economy'. Good reading! 🕳️ 🐇

The only completely preserved papal tomb north of the Alps: #otd 1047 Bishop Suitger of Bamberg died as Pope Clement II. In accordance with his wishes, he was buried in Bamberg, where he has lain in this tomb since the 13th century. #medieval@medievodons#medievaldeath Pic: WC

@aaronm@bookhistodons@medievodons Heroic effort on the alt-text. Now I’m trying to figure out why one of the heads doesn’t have a crown. The idea that it’s an allegory for social inequality seems far-fetched. 😀
