    These hands drawn in the margins of medieval manuscripts (manicules) usually point to interesting places in the text. Here, however, someone hasn't quite grasped how they work.

    A beautifully decorated 16th/17th copper alloy century book clasop, found last week by fellow mudlark Clay. This would have kept the thick leather covers of hand bound book tightly closed around the thick velum or parchment pages that were prone to crinkle and warp.

  10. The ‘night-owl’ (noctua) flies only at night due to weak vision in daylight. It is not found on the island of Crete—if one brings it thence, it immediately dies 🤔. The nycticorax is also a night-owl for it loves night & flees sunlight (Isidore, Etymologies 12.7.40–41)

    Depiction of night-owls from a medieval manuscript: Bodleian Library, MS Bodley 764, f. 73r. Against a blue background, within a red & gold frame, two dark brown owls huddle together atop small hillocks of earth. The pair gaze out at us, placidly, one grasping a small black rodent in its talons.

  12. The ‘screech owl’ (ulula), says Isidore, is named for wailing & lamentation. Its hoots resemble weeping or groaning, & so portend sorrow—but its silence, prosperity (Etymologies 12.7.38). 📜 Liège, c.1300–25 📷 Eurasian scops owl, 🇱🇺/🇧🇪, 2016:

    Image of an owl from a medieval manuscript, British Library, Stowe MS 17, f. 24v. A white owl with impressive ear-like tufts perches atop a branch of vibrant green trefoils. It gazes away from us with a surly expression. The ends of 6 lines of text in black ink are visible at left.
    Photograph of the head and roughly half of the body of an Eurasian scops owl against a background of branches and green foliage. The bird is white with brown markings and yellow eyes, and sports a pair of tufted ‘horns’ atop its head. It stares down the photographer, crankily.

  15. Isidore of Seville says that the horned owl (bubo) is named for the sound of its call. Frequenting tombs & lingering in caves, it portends ill-fortune & desolation—especially when seen in a city (Etymologies, 12.7.39; see: Ovid, Met. 5.549) 📷:

    "The bees of Notre Dame, whose escape from the inferno seemed almost miraculous, are thriving and conserving their energy ready to produce honey this summer, just as they have every year since they took up residence on the sacristy roof in 2013."

    It’s Sunday, and this little owl DARES you to call him anything but superb 😂 Associated with deceit, stupidity, and even disease in the Middle Ages, when an owl pops up in a medieval manuscript it’s usually as a negative. Rosenwald 2

  20. consults a local physician, seeking relief from a headache brought on by noise from the neighbourhood tailgate-party.

    Image from a medieval manuscript depicting a monkey-physician wearing a reddish-orange hood and examining an owl. Seated upon a golden chair, the brown monkey holds a green glass vial up to the light, peering at it. His other hand rests atop the head of the pale grey owl standing before him. The owl looks up at the physician with a gentle, trusting demeanour. Source: Cambrai, Bibliothèque municipale, Ms. 87, f. 138r.
