I Of the Storm- Of Monsters and Men

Inside Chetham’s Library in Manchester, England. Chetham’s Hospital, which contains both the library and Chetham’s School of Music, was established in 1653 for the education of “the sons of honest, industrious, and painful parents” and as a library for scholarly usage. It is the oldest free public library in the United Kingdom.

It is understandable that those books are on chains; since a person would certainly want to steal one. I am not saying I would. But honestly, LOOK AT THOSE BOOKS! Okay I most definitely probably MIGHT nick that one on the upper left. But I would feel very badly about it later. (wikimedia)

Ms. Codex 1572, Part 1; Manuscript Cannibalism

This manuscript is a complete portable gradual with chants for the Mass according to the Use of Brixen (now Bressanone), possibly from a Benedictine monastic foundation. The internal text was scribed in Italy between ca .1300 and 1325 (more on that in a following post).

The binding is from the 15th century, chamois over beveled wooden boards, and most of its leather is now lost. Now that the spine has been exposed one can observe a line of text running down the right hand side. Similarly, both the front and back pastedowns have been created from cannibalized parchment pages. The front pastedown is a leaf from southern Germany with visible prayers including the Credo, Gloria, and Da pacem Domine. The back pastedown was made from a fragment believed to be from a 13th century Italian missal or gradual. The text along the spine appears to be from the same or a similar fragment.

When all of our friends are dead and just a memory And we’re side by side, it’s always been just you and me For all to see When our lives are over and all that remains Are our skulls and bones let’s take it to the grave And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms I’ll be buried here with you And I’ll hold in these hands all that remains
