Spent hours looking at 19th- c watercolors. Fascinating/depressing. Some 17th-c covers survive, but changed: St Margaret's Church, Cley (💕the 1852 blue), while others are just the same: Enford (1865/today), both Norfolk.

2 And she said "Is he....you know....?"

(BL, MS Royal 19 B XV, f. 20v)

For our last week, my Global Medieval Lit class is reading the 15th-century Ethiopian story of the Virgin Mary, The Cannibal of Qəmər, in which a rich cannibal eats 78 people but does one (1) good deed, so the Virgin Mary persuades Jesus to let him into heaven.

1542 Cambrai, Bibl. mun., ms. 0125, B f. 092 -- look at these amazing marginalia and initials! The artist had a lot of fun with these... Yes, I know it's really Renaissance, but I still like it lots.
