Have you ever read a long narrative poem? I wonder how many people have nowadays. I read Walter Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel https://daceblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/michael-scot-in-walter-scotts-lay-of.html?m=1 #walterscott #michaelscot #layofthelastminstrel #historyofscience

Michael Scot is a scary #wizard in James Hogg's Three Perils of Man. Is there any connection to the real Scot, medieval #astrologer, #mathematician and all-round savant? https://daceblog.blogspot.com/2023/08/michael-scot-in-hoggs-three-perils-of.html?m=1 #jameshogg #michaelscot #MedievalScotland

In search of Michael Scot, I re-read James Hogg's Three Perils of Man. You learn nothing about Scot but it's great fun. https://daceblog.blogspot.com/2023/08/michael-scot-in-hoggs-three-perils-of.html?m=1 #michaelscot #jameshogg #historyofscience #ScottishBorders

The Court of Emperor Frederick II in Palermo (1865), by Arthur von Ramberg. I wonder if one of these characters is Ramberg's depiction of Michael Scot, who had made his way from #Scotland to become Court Astrologer here? #medievalscience #michaelscot #historyofscience
