For those interested, ‘Publishing in a Medieval Monastery: The View from Twelfth-Century Engelberg’ by Ben Pohl is free to access until the 20th of July from Cambridge University Press.

‘This Element contributes to the burgeoning field of medieval publishing studies with a case study of the books produced at the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg under its celebrated twelfth-century abbot, Frowin (1143–78). Frowin was the first abbot of Engelberg whose book provision policy relied on domestic production serviced by an internal scribal workforce, and his tenure marked the first major expansion of the community's library. This Element's in-depth discussion of nearly forty colophons inscribed in the books made for this library during Frowin's transformative abbacy offers a fresh perspective on monastic publishing practice in the twelfth century by directing our view to a mode of publication that has received only limited attention in scholarship to date.’

Quick explanation of the Chi-Rho page if you're not familiar with #medievalmanuscripts.

A masterpiece of #illumination, the Book of Kells is a 6th/7th Irish copy of the Gospels.

This particular page features the first words of Jesus's genealogy in Matthew's Gospel: "Christi autem generatio".

But "Christi" since Late Antiquity is usually abbreviated as "XPI" (XP for the Greek chi and rho, first letters of "Chrestos"; I for the Latin genitive).

So that's what the artist "wrote".

It has been amazing to watch this research unfold @uiowa

📢New #episode from #CEUPress #podcast about Central European medieval texts! We sat down with Prof. Gábor Klaniczay (#CEU Department of #Medieval Studies to discuss one of our longest running series about #MedievalManuscripts, and introduce the new book The Sanctity of the Leaders. tinyurl.com/CEUPCEMT

I absolutely love that every slide in the presentation is another manuscript illumination demonstrating how the sisters would sing with the manuscripts. #MedievalManuscripts #SpecialCollections

They entered all of the work into the Cantus database - a professional publication for the students. They identified variants and mistakes, comparing to other manuscripts in the database. https://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/ #MedievalManuscripts #Chant #SpecialCollections

I'm just delighted to hear the students (many of them undergraduates!) reporting out their careful analysis of the manuscript. Folios missing, burn marks, notation for the cantrix. #MedievalManuscripts #SpecialCollections

Mooie inspiratie voor kleuren kiezen bij interieurontwerp ook trouwens.

@tosche_e designed a custom typeface https://tosche.net/fonts/inkulinati for the adorable #Inkulinati. The game is based on the sillier marginalia found in medieval manuscripts, and type plays a big role: “a procedurally generated text describes the dramatic (and often hilarious) events in detail just above the battlefield.” https://www.yazagames.com/ Toshi’s blackletter is legible, yet with just enough handwritten swing.
