Medieval Matters, Martius Madness, and Minimalism: Links 7 April

Here are some sites we’ve found over the last week.  Hope you enjoy!

  • Yvonne Seale presents a plethora of resources for anyone interested in the palaeography of medieval manuscripts.  My favorite is a link to an app that allows people to browse documents, zoom in on words, and comes with a list of abbreviations and sample letter forms!
  • An article in the New Scientist discusses how we might now be able to read more of the scrolls found in Pompeii.
  • Some of over 600 statues in Italy held by the Torlonia family can soon be seen publicly, so reports the Guardian.
  • Martius Madness – an article by Sarah Bond on sports, games and gambling in the ancient world.
  • From the blog Refine the Mind, musings on minimalism from an ancient perspective.
