The modern greyhound originates in early mediaeval Ireland, where it was bred by monks who needed a dog flexible enough to fit into the initials in their illuminated manuscripts.

Here's a starter pack for those interested in medieval and early modern #art#medievalsky#earlymodern#histsci#skystorians#arthistorygo.bsky.app/PtdynT4

Just rewatched #Beetlejuice and noticed these magnificent stretched animal skin/parchment frame chairs. Now I can’t stop thinking about them

Definitely @enniusredloeb.bsky.social!

Gosh - so many to choose from! Definitely the Insular manuscripts and the manuscript making materials. The Hillinus codex was also a favourite. I was very disappointed not to see the Pangur Ban poem - as the manuscript was opened on a different page! It was such a wonderful exhibition though

Yes please!
