I got this issue that I have continued to go back and forth on for the past several years. I am curious about what other folks think on the matter. Guess I should get to explaining. A long time ago, when searching for some books on how to do some of it, I found online authentic and verified by apparently somewhat reputable sources illuminated pages from medieval books, usually the most common come from Books of Hours and other prayer types of books, apparently having been really common during times that I am in particular most interested. They were for sale on eBay and after a little research they can be found in several other places as well.

It thought I had blogged about it back then, but apparently I only made a note (via a draft entry to myself) that I needed to blog about it and what aspects I wanted to hit with. I admit I was a little leery about seeing it as it could be funny but it could just be dumb. I admit that a friend wanting to see it and having gotten a recommendation from another friend pushed me over the edge and I said what the heck. Read the rest of this entry »
A friend sent this to me and it is just to funny not to share with everyone else. Enjoy the humor of it…
