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.

A little bit of medieval manuscript for a treat: a leaf from The Ridware Cartulary (England, 1308–1309). Spot the lurking #critters !

More from the same Register of Writs we saw a few days ago: a splendidly ornamented initial, featuring—a bit unusually for a common law manuscript—a mounted knight. #MedievalManuscripts #Manuscripts #LegalHistory #HistoryOfLaw #Law #Warriors #Heraldry https://mastodon.social/@SJLahey/110502964583791314
