Study reveals hidden role of medieval female scribes in manuscript production For centuries, the image of a monk laboring on a manuscript has been the dominant portrayal of medieval scribal work. However, in a newly published study presented in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, an old truth is revealed: women played a significant role in manuscript production. Researchers from the University of Bergen in Norway discovered that at least 1.1% of medieval manuscripts were transcribed by female scribes, which is very likely more than 110,000 books...

Standing next to a golden unicorn with her arm outstretched, a young woman dressed in an olive gown, gazes into its glowing orange eyes. Golden hued patterns of ginkgo leaves and stars accented by green and orange layer the background. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

"#Germany officially launched its first perman World War II on Tuesday — a 5,000-strong armored brigade in #Lithuania — as #Berlin moves to bolster NATO’s eastern flank in response to Russia’s war against #Ukraine."
- for lovers of the #MiddleAges there is an interesting connection with the fact that the troops of the German #Teutonic Knights once operated in the #Baltic

#Doorsday's child has far to go ... all the way to #Córdoba in fact.

This is a lovely old #door from the Mosque-Cathedral or #Mezquita with details of #MoorishArchitecture. In fact, it's one of the oldest surviving gates of the former mosque! The door's decoration dates back to 855 when it was known as Bab al-Wuzara ("Viziers' Gate"). Lots of Al-Andalus state officials used to enter the mosque here. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted into a Catholic #cathedral in the 13th century. It's a World Heritage Site since 1984.

A weathered stone facade, likely part of a historic building such as the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, dominates the frame. The stonework is a light beige, showing significant signs of age and erosion, with varied textures and uneven surfaces. A prominent horseshoe archway, characteristic of Moorish architecture, frames a set of aged, dark metal double doors. The arch is outlined in a lighter stone and features alternating red and white voussoirs. Above the archway, there is a rectangular panel with intricate, though worn, carvings. Flanking the central archway are sections of the stone wall with further decorative elements, including what appear to be blocked-up windows or niches with geometric patterns. The top of the facade is crenellated, with a series of rectangular merlons against a partly cloudy blue sky. The ground in front of the facade is paved with light-coloured stone slabs, showing some signs of wear.

🔔 Ring Ring! 🔔 It's #Doorsday!

Here we have the front door to Casa Caccianemici in Bologna. Last week for window Friday I showed you one of its windows.
Some of the building dates back to the 13th century, other parts to the 15th century. It used to be home to the Passapoveri tower. "Caccianemici" means "to throw out/get rid of enemies" - so I guess as long as you are on good terms with the homeowners you're fine! 😂

Via dell'Archiginnasio

On your left there is Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio on your right, a sliver of the Basilica to San Petronio.
Construction started on the Basilica in 1390 - alla Sagrada Familia style - they were still building it in 1514 when a new architect was brought on to build the dome. Legend has it that Pope Pius IV halted the construction of the "megalomaniac dream" and encouraged the building of the Archiginnasio.
The Archiginnasio is one of the most important buildings in Bologna. It was the main hub of the University it now houses the Anatomical Theatre and The Archeological Museum.
We got the Archiginnasio but the Basilica has never been finished. 😂

"Open The Noor!" It's #Doorsday! 🚪
Being a bit cheeky with this door - as it's a door within a door - Doorception ✨

The open door is part of Il Palazzo Monti Poi Salina, this version - built between 1736 and 1738. One of the courtyards has a well dating back to the 14th century, oh and the palazzo was used as a bomb shelter during World War II.
There's like a web designer office or something across the road - I don't know much about it to be honest! 😂

... Thursday, I don't care about you, it's #Doorsday I'm in love! 😍

Another local beauty, this time the #Brick #Gothic castle #church of #Wolmirstedt, built in 1480. Apparently the most southern example of northern #BrickGothic, huh. It's all humble red bricks and a plain door, but when you look up - wow!

A detailed, eye-level shot showcases the ornate entrance to the brick Gothic castle chapel in Wolmirstedt, Germany. The grand Gothic arched doorway is constructed from reddish-brown bricks, characteristic of the Brick Gothic style. The deeply recessed arch features multiple brick layers, creating depth. Above the dark, aged wooden double doors is a decorative tympanum with an intricate, swirling reddish-brown brick carving. The doors have vertical planks and large, circular metal hinges and fastenings. Flanking the arch are brick columns. Above, decorative brickwork with a repeating quatrefoil pattern, typical of Brick Gothic architecture, forms a frieze. The weathered reddish-brown brick facade shows visible mortar lines. The entrance is approached by a pathway of small, irregular grey and beige stones with patches of green moss. The overall impression is of historical significance and Brick Gothic architectural detail. A small, illegible sign is on the right.

“Femina — A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of It”, by Janina Ramirez, Penguin, 2024.

“The middle ages are seen as a bloodthirsty time of Vikings, saints and kings: a patriarchal society which oppressed and excluded women. But when we dig a little deeper into the truth, we can see that the 'dark' ages were anything but.”

The cover of the book “Femina”.
