"A remarkable fifteenth-century folding almanac in a green and pink silk binding was recently acquired by the Wellcome Library. It stands out because of its exquisite textile binding, and the high artistic standard of its illustrative features, particularly the Zodiac Man. Only a handful of such artefacts survive, and this particular example had been in private hands and was previously unknown to scholars." http://blog.wellcomelibrary.org/2014/01/the-enigma-of-the-medieval-almanac/ Attached Image (viewed 488 times): |
