Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal. This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer. #MedievalMonday

The Lewis Chessmen for #MedievalMonday Characterful 12th-century chess pieces with wonderfully expressive eyes! 👀 From a large gaming hoard found on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in 1831. Walrus ivory, c. 1150-1200. 📷 my own #Archaeology
My photo collage shows a selection of bishop and warder (rook) Lewis chess pieces carved from walrus ivory c. 1150-1200 AD. Photo top left: Two bishops and a warder. All standing. The bishops wear long garments and mitre (headgear) and hold a crozier with both hands. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces. He is armed with a sword and kite-shaped shield inscribed with a lozenge shaped cross. Photo top right: A so-called ‘berserker’ (warder) chess piece. Standing, wearing a long garment and hood, armed with a sword and shield decorated with an interlaced saltire. The warder has large, wide- open eyes, and large upper teeth which bite the top of the shield. Height 8.2 cm. Photo bottom left: A standing warder and two seated bishops, one of which is partly obscured by the warder. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment and conical helmet with neck and ear-pieces, and is armed with sword and shield. The seated bishops wear long garments, mitres, and each holds a crozier and a book. Photo bottom right: A warder and a bishop, both standing. The bearded warder wears a long pleated garment, and conical helmet with neck, ear-pieces and ornamented head-band. He is armed with a sword in right hand and kite-shaped shield in left hand. His eyes look to the left. The bishop wears a long garment with cloak, and mitre, and holds a crozier in his left hand and a book in his right hand.

Beautiful brooch of the ‘Lady of Quaregnon’. Merovingian, AD 660-670. Gold, silver, copper alloy, garnet, and glass paste. Diameter 5.6 cm. From Quaregnon, Belgium. 📷 by me #MedievalMonday #Archaeology
A poly-lobed Merovingian gold fibula (brooch). The gold front plate is attached to a copper alloy core by 8 silver rivets. The plate is ornately decorated with gold filigree, cloisonné garnet inlay, and nine glass paste cabochons (one large glass cabochon is mounted in the centre and eight smaller cabochons around the rim). The 71 garnets adorning the fibula come from Bohemia. This ornate brooch was found during the 2008-2009 excavations ahead of major renovation works at Grand Place in Quaregnon. The excavations uncovered a small Merovingian cemetery. The brooch comes from the tomb of a 7th-century female known as the ‘Lady of Quaregnon’. In addition to the brooch, her other items of jewellery included a necklace, bracelet, copper-alloy pins, and a pair of copper-alloy bow brooches.

The Cloister at Gloucester Cathedral, famous for its fabulous fan vaulted ceiling! 🤩 📷 by me #MedievalMonday
My photo shows the east walk corridor of the cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral with its intricately beautiful fan vaulted ceiling. This is a style of architecture in which the ceiling is composed of concave sections with ribs which spread out and look like an open fan. The east walk was built in the mid to late 1300s, with the other three walks completed by 1412.
