Hier était #HugAMedievalistDay, aujourd’hui la fête de Hugues, alors #LeSceauDuMardi est obligé de partager ce sceau de Hug Dossenheim, bourgeois de #Strasbourg. 😁 Cette empreinte est appendue à la charte de serment de la ville de 1425.

So many thanks to you and other #medievalsky on this #hugamedievalistday!
Wishing you all a happy #hugamedievalistday ! [Picture detail taken from the Morgan Picture Bible, © Getty Museum, Ms. Ludwig I 6 (83.MA.55). CC0 1.0]
International #HugaMedievalistDay (if anyone is still doing that), and I just wanted to remind you that you should NOT use the stories of #TheCourtJester to convince someone to hug you. Or date you. Or do anything with you, really.
Illuminations from the Decameron, of course (BnF, Ms5070 réserve).
Medieval manuscript illumination of the Visitation, depicting Mary and Elizabeth embracing. Both have halos, with Mary in blue and Elizabeth in red. They stand on a path near a house with arched windows, where a small animal (dog?) is visible. The scene is framed by a decorated border with floral patterns and a small marginal figure.
#MedievalSky Happy #HugAMedievalistDay! We celebrate with one of my favourite scenes in books of hours, the Visitation. This one comes from the Hours of Antoine de Crèvecœur, Leeds, University of Leeds Library, Brotherton Collection MS 4, fol. 60v (detail).

Illustration of two people who are arguing but look as if they are hugging, with a third person next to them. From the Stuttgarter Psalter (Württembergische Landesbibliothek, Cod. bibl. fol. 23, f. 4v).
Happy #HugAMedievalistDay to all lucky enough to have one within reach! 🤗
(and perhaps even more heartfelt than our colleagues from the Stuttgart Psalter)
