Unusually, this is not an original. It's a modern copy of a 10th-century piece which was presumably in poor condition. I haven't seen the original, but I'm assuming this is a faithful copy... well, mostly. I'm pretty certain mediaeval scribes didn't have access to a metallic light blue. The figures, though, look *very* authentic.

A lovely 12th-century illuminated capital today. I think the expression and the body language of the woman on the left are absolutely priceless.

A slightly unusual one today, partly because it's a full page, and partly because it's in English. This is a lovely 12th-century page from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales".

Pet peeve: Having to follow both the #mediaeval and #medieaval hashtags.
