Linkapalooza!

It's time for some links again - here you go:

Alex Makin has new things up on her blog about (mostly) Early Medieval Textiles. This time, the textiles are (mostly) a bit later - Milena Bravermanová, Helena Březinová and Jana Bureš Víchová present textiles found in the tomb of St Wenceslaus in Prague Castle. Do check them out - they are fabulous fabrics!

If you're into Medieval cookery, you might want to check out this recipe book in the OpenLibrary - it's the edition and translation of a late medieval recipe book from Naples, dated to the end of the 15th century.

If you're up for a fight, or maybe just up for reading about military mobility equipment, there's a nice article about chariots and related wagon-like things here.

Prefer more friendly things? There's an investigation into fragmented ring ornaments used in the 4th millenium BC in Finland, which may have been something resembling "friendship pendants" - rings that were made, then intentionally broken and used or worn by two people. The article is open access.

I hope there's something for you in that selection!
