Over 110,000 Medieval Manuscripts May Have Been Copied by Women https://www.medievalists.net/2025/03/110000-medieval-manuscripts-women/ #medieval #medievalmanuscripts #medievalwomen
Medievalists.net · Over 110,000 Medieval Manuscripts May Have Been Copied by Women - Medievalists.netA new study reveals medieval women copied over 110,000 manuscripts—far more than once believed.
I just received my facsimile copy of the Royal Armouries MS I.33 from the British museum of arms and armour in Leeds. It is one of the oldest surviving manuals on armed combat in the world, dating around the 1300s.
I.33 is also known as the Walpurgis manuscript, named after the illustrations in the treatise depicting a woman named Walpurgis demonstrating the written techniques against a priest. I plan on using this book to study and train on the use of sword & buckler.
I also committed sacrilege by putting on my book some cute I.33 stickers I got from Purpleheart Armoury when I visited them in Houston, TX

medievalbooks · Perfect imperfectionThe chances of a medieval book making it to the safety of a modern library are dazzlingly small. Relatively few did. Imagine the challenging journey across centuries of wear and tear, fire and wate…
Please enjoy this 14th century depiction of the Virgin Mary wrestling a ferocious demon while an angel babysits (because why not?

And thus one of my weirder childhood fantasies has been fulfilled: I am a sorceress, a necromancer. I wrest utterances from the void. I raise the dead.
