Zo vond Patricia Stoop in de UB Leiden onlangs een onbekend handschrift van Trijn Jans Oly zelf: nu – behalve de levens – het enige bekende handschrift van haar hand en met haar motto (Mijn Godt in al). Dat deze manuscripten recentelijk goed worden beschreven en ontsloten heeft meerdere oorzaken.

Great news!! My special issue on Writing for Third Parties: Commercial Manuscript Production in the Late Middle Ages (Queeste, @amsterdamupress.bsky.social) is now available in open access. Looking much forward to your reactions! www.aup-online.com/content/jour...

Having a go with the calculations of the unsatisfied Boendale scribe, who never wishes to write again for such a small amount (‘Pro tali precio nunquam plus scribere volo’). Can anyone read the penultimate word?

Heeft iemand een kopie van Pieter Winsemius, Het koningsvaandel: reis door het verleden van Friesland (Amsterdam: Balans, 2014)? Ik zoek naar de pagina waar voetnoot 94 op staat (in verband met Louw Broerszoon uit Loënga). Wie had ooit gedacht dat ik werk van een oud-minister zou willen citeren? 🤔

Sunday question for palaeographers: is anyone able to figure out who lived at the Botermarkt (of an unspecified town)? MS probably related to a female Dominican house in the Southern Low Countries #medievalbluesky #herbook

In 2023 Carolyn Muessig organised a workshop on Female Preaching in Premodern Europe in Calgary. It was one of the most fruitful and fun events in my career. Now the first fruits of that workshop are available in the new issue of Medieval Sermon Studies. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

✨A female illuminators work✨: f. 84v : 'Alanus scripsit has horas et ejus uxor illuminavit eas.’ f. 84v: 'Alan wrote these hours and his wife illuminated them.' I have been waiting for this manuscript to be scanned in colour for a very long time, so am super excited to see it now!

Just inserted the 2500th book in my database on Women and the Book in the Low Countries (c. 1250-1600)😃 #herbook

Came to Leiden University Library, made a pop-up exhibit of medieval manuscripts. Next item: something cool. (3) Two copies of same Middle Dutch text made by same scribe c1450 for different clients. One ordered copy on parchment, the other on paper (see alt text). Now reunited on same table.

Erik Kwakkel@erikkwakkel.bsky.social · 2y ago

Pop-up exhibit on commercially-made medieval books, continued. Now for a $$$ manuscript. (2) The exquisite handwriting of Raoul Tainguy, a well-known paid scribe in Paris, c1400. High-end writing is typical for expensive books made in France.

Met het opschrijven van het visioen negeerde Jacomijne het schrijfverbod voor vrouwen dat in die tijd gold binnen de Moderne Devotie, de religieuze hervormingsbeweging waar haar klooster toe behoorde. @dr-patriciastoop.bsky.social zal in haar deel meer over de schriftcultuur in het klooster zeggen.
