The seven deadly #sins in Reppichau.
As the home of medieval jurist Eike of Repgow, the entire village has become an open-air museum dedicated to its famous son. Many houses feature grand murals depicting medieval life, painted by a local artist. These #sculptures are also part of the display.

A #window in the tiny village of #Reppichau (near Dessau in Saxony-Anhalt and only a short bike ride from my parents' home).
As the home of the medieval administrator Eike of Repgow, the whole village has become an open-air museum dedicated to its famous son, with many houses featuring grand murals depicting #medieval life, painted by a local artist.

Eike of Repgow is famous for compiling the #Sachsenspiegel ("Saxon Mirror"), a code of law, in the 13th century. It was the first comprehensive law book not written in Latin and its influence can still be found in modern German and Dutch law.
One of the most famous proverbs originating from the Sachsenspiegel and still used today is "Wer zuerst kommt, mahlt zuerst" – First come, first served, or literally: "Who comes first, grinds first". Back then, it was a rule for the order for grinding of corn by a miller, but, as we all know, it is still used as a rule of habit.

Spent today looking at #MedievalManuscripts in St John’s College (Cambridge) Library’s Rare Books Reading Room—a wonderful space (📷 1: St John’s Chapel). This manuscript (📷 2) belongs to a group I discussed in my uOttawa MA thesis (sup.: Andrew Taylor); how amazing to see it in person. #LegalHistory #HistoryOfLaw #Law #RareBooks #Manuscripts

A 1201 charter of Hubert de Burgh—then Chamberlain to King John, later Chief Justiciar—bearing “the only known complete seal [from] his early career” ( https://dspace.library.uvic.ca/handle/1828/11170 ). Now held by my alma mater, University of Victoria.
