Brother Euphemius

Monk priest of Farnham Monastary

[brother-euphemius]

Good morrow, friend! I am Brother Euphemius, a monk priest at Farnham Monastary. Although I am ordained, I consider myself a Brother before a Father, as we are all equal under God (as the Capuchins often say, "All of the Fathers are Brothers, but only some of the Brothers are Fathers!"). Please use the confessional whenever you need to. Aside from administering sacraments, I most enjoy studying history, philosophy, and the natural sciences. You may browse my notes if you wish.

i successfully apply to be on love island and then spend the whole time in the villa remaining true to my vows of celibacy and sweating profusely in my habit

monks are a sort of animal you have to take care of. the monastery is a little terrarium. the diet consists of bread, porridge, woodchips from crosses, and wine. being allowed to pet the tonsure is a symbol of trust

there's a little dragon on the manuscript we're transcribing from in my medieval studies class atm :]

This manuscript is called mssEL 26 C 9 Ellesmere Chaucer from the Huntington Library, San Marino, California and it's fol 1r, for anyone curious! It's the first page of the general prologue to The Canterbury Tales

AITA for making a wall fall on a child? 

Hear me out here, please. I (51M, deceased), was prayed to a little while ago by a father and mother of a young boy when he fell gravely ill. I, of course, healed him, and they promised they would go to my shrine to give thanks. They did not, even after a few months. So, to give them a little prompting, I made a wall fall on their child whilst he was in his cradle. His mother prayed he would be healed like I had healed him last time, so I made sure he was not grievously harmed! Just a little to make sure they would go. And they did! But I do feel, admittedly, a little guilt for it. Perhaps I should have made the wall fall on the parents instead? 

Thank you, 

TB 

this seems... familiar, somehow...

AITA?

never visiting your shrine again (YTA)

WALL! THAT! CHILD! (NTA)

what manuscript is this? i’m impressed by these elephants that look like the artist has actually seen an elephant.

This image is from the Médiathèque Simone Veil De Valenciennes (a public library in France)'s digitalised section of their archived manuscripts! The author according to the records is one Guillelmus Brito, a French Franciscan, and this manuscript appears to be a beastiary book, although it could be the equivelant of a dictionary for Bible words? I'm not sure if Brito had ever seen an elephant, but he certainly seems know enough.

Here's the link to the manuscript in the décor section, f. 196
