your turn #2

                                book IV of the codex calixtinus (santiago de compostela cathedral)

we covered plenty of middle-ages marks: life in the country, in the city; cheese, dung, feces; our fabricated myth of "organic"; scribes, scriptorium serendipities, piment!; we contrasted the slow evolution of typefaces from trajan to beneventan to similar developments in architecture; codexes, old book parts; illumined manuscripts; frontispiece, etc., colophon, secretary hand; decretals; minuscule vs. majuscule; book of hours; ars moriendi; dance macabre,    

wow.    

pick a subject and spin it like you did last time. as usual, I close the comment option next wednesday 10pm.
