You might remember this miniature from last week's thread: https://t.co/lZ1XasTw3d. It's the Antichrist riding into Jerusalem, dressed as the Pope. Notice the banners, the windvane, and the expression of the horse behind the Antichrist. https://t.co/8wVDvKAZAL #FolkloreThursday
Join us next time, when we explore MS. Douce 134's depictions of the Antichrist, judgment, hell, paradise, and windmills. #FolkloreThursday https://t.co/jKiNzVsfkr
Want to see how medieval illuminators worked? MS. Douce 180 contains miniatures in various stages of completion: drawing, applying gold leaf, painting figures, and painting backgrounds. https://t.co/nkYB9vLHU1
Besides its decorative initial-word panels, this 1472 copy of texts from the Hebrew bible has marginal commentaries in elegant carmina figurata. We digitizied it as part of our #PolonskyProject: https://t.co/2Cs1t9w8K3 #HebrewMSS
This #EarlyPrintedBook is a vernacular Italian translation of Guy de Chauliac's Chirurgia Magna, a medieval guide to surgery. It was annotated by an early reader, especially the bits on anatomy and treating abcesses and pustules. #Ew #MarginaliaMonday https://t.co/f3MBPcicoo

The decoration was added in stages, across the end of the 13th century and through to the 1320s. A more detailed catalogue entry is available over at our Western Manuscripts catalogue: https://t.co/IQRYLhRl0t
On with the second #MiradorMadness semi-final: 'Tradescant's Orchard' versus the 'Ormesby Psalter'. Both a feast for the eyes; both worth spending a while gazing at side-by-side in gloriously high detail here: https://t.co/HZy3GAQHG7
Poll in the next Tweet!
Fittingly for the first day of #summertime, today's #MiradorMadness features 'Tradescant's Orchard', a guide to the ripening dates of orchard fruits. The competition? MS. Canon. Misc. 213, our rare copy of early secular songs. https://t.co/i9p2745d34
