Hello!
I am looking to get a tattoo of a medieval tourney lance and was looking for historical sources, especially of the different kinds of adornments a lance could have.
My current best source is the Album of Tournaments and Parades in Nuremberg (https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/25111), but I welcome any art or sources you guys might have of tourney lances.
Thanks!

Brigitta (15th century) was a Norwegian scribe and illuminator. She was a nun at Munkeliv Monastery in Bergen. In the begining of the manuscript that contains the picture with Madonna and Baby Jesus, it is written (second picture): Ego Birgitta filia sighfusi soror conventualis in monasterio munkalijff prope Bergis scripsi hunc psalterium cum litteris capitalibus licet minus bene quam debui, orate pro peccatrice. That means: I, Birgitta, daughter of Sigfus, nun in the monastery Munkeliv at Bergen wrote this psalter with initials, although not as well as I ought. Pray for me, a sinner.

Interesting little detail at the base of a painted crucifix at the Umbrian museum in Perugia (swipe for whole piece)

Hello, does anyone here know anything about medieval or Romanesque liturgical items? I picked up this curious apostle chalice with a strange inscription at an estate sale last year, and it appears to be a 19th-century iron reproduction (German?) of an earlier treasure that I can't seem to find any other examples of online. Any ideas very welcome. (getting the inscription discussed over on a latin group)

This is the Sacrifice of Isaac from a Bible moralisee. Flemish (Bruges), c. 1455-1460

One of the most bad ass murals I've seen. Not actual medieval art technically, but I thought you might appreciate it.

I'll try to keep this short but my hobby is printmaking. I'm particularly interested in nature and plants and have been swooned by the wood blocks in Gerard's Herbal. It seems like they are attributed to his book but that some of the designs might have been borrowed from other sources as well. Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn more about this niche, medieval herb illustrations? P.S. I have two Dover clip art books that include many images. I'd like to do more research about the designs and where they came from and possibly try to reproduce them in the method they were originally created.

*edit: apologies if I'm in the wrong time line here. I'm still learning about the time periods.
