15 August is the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin, celebrating Mary's entry into heaven at the end of her earthly life.

The page for Assumption Day is one of the finest in the Sherborne Missal, made for the benedictine abbey of St Mary the Virgin, Sherborne, c. 1400 🧵 /1

The rise in bunions for medieval communities as a consequence of fashion choices is reported here too! https://t.co/0w9VjTjwZe

[Dr Joy Hawkins @DrJoyHawkins]

C14th churchmen preached that the fashion of pointy shoes engendered God's wrath and was one of the causes of plague. Archaeological evidence indicates the clergy were amongst those wearing these shoes and getting bunions!

@shanimalay And as one colleague pointed out to me last week, all the chatter and shared documents going on through Teams and similar platforms... poor things. I rather like studying a historical subject where you get a eureka moment everytime you find a relevant extant document!

In this hand coloured engraving from the 1660 Atlas Coelestis the relationship between sun, earth and stars through the seasons is portrayed: at the #WinterSolstice Gemini faces the night side of the earth, while at the summer solstice it is Sagittarius. https://t.co/tM5WnFtPee

To mark Albertus' feast day I shall go and gaze upon a green lawn as Albertus proclaimed that nothing refreshes the sight like looking upon fine, short grass. He also advised delighting in sweet smelling herbs. Pass the rosemary... 🌿🌱

They have very good taste! Excellent costume. I already have the prop -- a very large book -- just need to get my needle and thread out ...

[Science History Institute @SciHistoryOrg]

It's the #OthmerLibrary's favorite Halloween costume-- a hermit just wanting to be left alone with their books! This funny fellow appears in Liber chronicarum (1493).

[Dr Joy Hawkins @DrJoyHawkins]

Even if I'm not visiting such a lovely building to buy my books, it's nice knowing that's where my books have been sitting before wending their way to me. And yes, I couldn't buy just one. It might have got lonely on it's journey to me. I might have bought a second. Okay three!

[Dr Joy Hawkins @DrJoyHawkins]

It's book group book buying time, so I found an #independentbookshop in a Tudor building from which to make my online purchase. 📚 Not only did I get to chat to a v helpful bookseller @whitehorsebooks but in my order today I received a postcard too! A lovely touch. #bonus
