Four hand-drawn, colored squares contain: a person standing on a stag; a person with a nose and mouth in the chest, eyes in the shoulders, and no head; a person with a face in the chest and no head; and a person holding up a very long lip.

Viewed from the back, a humanlike figure wears a skin and looks over his shoulder. The caption reads, “Caliban Shakespeare Tercentenary Celebration.”

I'm starting on a new source translation, Solothurn Cod S 293 (c. 1500), and here is a very upmarket honey-mustard pickle:

Lectures

In sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain, Catholic orthodoxy became intertwined with political authority ⚔️⛪

When administrative pressure proved insufficient, the Spanish Army reinforced confessional policy. Religious identity and civic loyalty converged under centralized monarchy.

A revealing case of how belief and force can operate together within state power.

Most traditional recipes use dried peas. This one, from Balthasar Staindl's 1547 cookbook, serves them fresh from the pod, with bacon.

Cross-Post: Conference on Arms and Armour beyond Christian Europe, 13-14 March, London

The renowned Wallace Collection in London is hosting a hybrid conference. Museums rarely have much of a budget for research, let alone research on arms and armour, so this is a rare opportunity.

Conference on Arms and Armour from Asia, Africa and the Ottoman World
Event details Date Friday 13 March and Saturday 14 March
Time Friday 13 March: 10.30-17.00 GMT (followed by drinks and private view until 19.00)

Saturday 14 March: 10.30-16.05 GMT
Location At the Wallace Collection, London (Theatre) and Online (Zoom)
https://www.wallacecollection.org/whats-on/events/conference-on-arms-and-armour-from-asia-africa-and-the-ottoman-world-2/

The Wallace Collection is home to one of the finest assemblages of arms and armour in a public collection. Our newly published Catalogue of Arms and Armour from Asia, Africa and the Ottoman World and our free display, Swords of Lucknow, highlight this previously understudied part of the museum’s collections.

Delve into the world of arms and armour and learn about their important role both within and beyond warfare. Discussions will centre around courtly culture and diplomacy, making and decorating, cross-cultural interactions and colonial collecting histories. Leading scholars and specialists will share their insights and latest research.

(scheduled 21 February 2026)

A stained glass window from Norwich made shortly before 1500. It shows a man seated in a chair in front of a fireplace. He is dressed in a long robe, hood, and woolly hat. One of his feet is bare, giving us a glimpse of his stirrup hosen, as he warms it by the fire. Inside the fireplace, a cookpot is suspended by a kettlehook. This is the kind of scenario the above recipes belong in: upper-class, but not festive. They are quotidian foods.

On today's new episode we tackle the Port-Royal Logic, the most influential philosophy textbook of early modern Europe, which combines ideas from Descartes with scholasticism: www.historyofphilosophy.net/port-royal-l... #logic #podcast #philsky #philosophy #podcast #earlymodern #hopwag
