This Middle Dutch manuscript (ca. 1400) shows how parchment warps when exposed to intense heat—in this case, during a WWII bombing raid. No longer readable as a book, it's still a powerful historical source.

My entry on Jacomijne Costers has been published in The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Medieval Women's Writing in the Global Middle Ages. Read about an afterlife vision including a toad, dragon, and soul-throwing devils:

BREEK: Behalve de op non-actief gestelde prof Corinne Hofman zijn er meer, onbestrafte ‘pestkoppen’ bij archeologie die wangedrag vertonen. ‘Bij de één moet je uitkijken als je een kort rokje draagt, de ander jat je data, en een derde schreeuwt tegen je'

Ja het was heel tof - al vond ik de uitgebreide uitleg van wat er precies allemaal ging gebeuren nog leuker dan de ceremonie zelf, maar dat is waarschijnlijk de academicus in mij.

This weekend I attended an Eastern-orthodox baptism and before the ceremony, the priest gave an explanation of what was going to happen. Holding an icon like this one, he explained that the baby was going to play Christ, he was going to perform as John the Baptist and we were all playing the angels.
