I recently found out that my favorite medieval editorial joke exists in another edition, which was probably printed around the year 1512! Please meet Nemo/Nobody (depicted in the frame). München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Res/P.o.lat. 1636,28 (title page).

When you write a French-Spanish language book, explain that it's important to know the different letters...

.. & then the typographer gets the alphabet wrong.

From Charpentier 'La parfaicte methode pour entendre, escrire et parler la langue espagnole', Paris:
M. Guillemot, 1596

En plus le sujet de ce mandement parodique est très typique pour les mandements joyeux médiévaux : au Moyen Âge aussi on se plaignait déjà beaucoup de la météo dans ces textes joyeux.

[Rozanne Versendaal @Melusigne]

Le mandement joyeux, plus actuel que jamais ! #culturejoyeuse

The multilingual Middle Ages! One of my favourite examples of early medieval multilingualism is this 10th-c. poem about the Anglo-Saxon poet Aldhelm, written in alliterative macaronic verse, with Old English and Latin half lines, as well as some Latinised Greek!

[Rozanne Versendaal @Melusigne]

@NiallOddy We do too, and I loved to see that my daughter enjoyed completely other aspects of the song and act than I did, which was Joost's intention apparently!
