Another blog post on that Thalbach Segen that I wrote about last week -- a "blessing" to be performed by the Sister during the mass. This gives the second half, and an assessment of how she works through spatial acts, equivalences, stacking of salvic things, and completeness articulated through binaries. She is creating whole-world protection for herself. Nifty!

I transcribed and translated a Catholic Segen, a kind of activating prayer, from the 16thc Thalbach prayerbook. Here I provide Part I and an assessment of *how* the prayer works

I wrote a (short) thing! Blog post on the surprising absence of smell from the multisensory details covered in memorial endowments in early modern Bregenz

I wrote a thing! This is my first extended assessment of Vorarlberg prayerbooks, focused on prayers "before" the image of Mary
I've been writing blog posts about some of the interesting prayers from the Thalbach prayerbook, a 16thc manuscript probably copied by a Tertiary sister in the Bregenz convent -- nearly 300 pages in a single hand. These prayers, I'd argue, give an important glimpse into 16th c Franciscan spirituality. Today's contribution: a prayer on Mary's sorrows as redemptive

A blog post today on the Seelengärtlein (Hortulus animae), one of the hugely popular prayerbooks of the 16th century. Both a bit about how to find copies and a bit about indexing the thing. I love me a good spreadsheet! Oh, and there are woodcuts. But the Hellmouth is from a different print...

I just found my first-ever drop of wax in a book and am reveling in the cool factor

I love the 16th c reader who got miffed at all the “against fear” phraseology and started editing the prayer book to talk about supporting hope instead! She even smack-talks the original compiler who should, she argues, have had the Christian faith to know better

Franciscan scribe, after drinking lunch:
Yeah, for my next initial, I think I'll put in kissing fish. That will be cool -- it echoes the kiss of Judas!

Philip Sidney dedicated his epic poem "Arcadia" to his sister, Mary, Countess of Pembroke, and Harvard has a copy with an inscription saying it belonged to her—long thought to be fake. But it did belong to her and in fact has annotations in her handwriting.
