‘XXXV quaternen gescreven houdende elc quaternen XVIc valt LVIM, elc duyst drie [?] stuvers’ [‘35 quires of text, each containing 1,600 tokens. Totals 56,000, at 3 [?] stivers for each thousand’]

Having a go with the calculations of the unsatisfied Boendale scribe, who never wishes to write again for such a small amount (‘Pro tali precio nunquam plus scribere volo’).

Can anyone read the penultimate word?

Heeft iemand een kopie van Pieter Winsemius, Het koningsvaandel: reis door het verleden van Friesland (Amsterdam: Balans, 2014)? Ik zoek naar de pagina waar voetnoot 94 op staat (in verband met Louw Broerszoon uit Loënga).

Wie had ooit gedacht dat ik werk van een oud-minister zou willen citeren? 🤔

That would surprise me, given the relations with England/English (see the text).

I agree, it does not seem very common. I think I am looking for leads in the 16th/17th centuries?

I read "hindre faij". Especially the hindre seems a bit strange to me. But of course, a proper name can go into all kinds of directions.

Sunday question for palaeographers: is anyone able to figure out who lived at the Botermarkt (of an unspecified town)?

MS probably related to a female Dominican house in the Southern Low Countries

I cherish the intense day-long conversations with excellent experts (Carolyn Muessig, @pabloacostag.bsky.social, Edward Sutcliffe & George Ferzoco) about the various ways in which women could preach and participate in the transmission of sermons.
More to come in the 2025 issue!

In 2023 Carolyn Muessig organised a workshop on Female Preaching in Premodern Europe in Calgary. It was one of the most fruitful and fun events in my career. Now the first fruits of that workshop are available in the new issue of Medieval Sermon Studies.
