This week's medieval marginalia is focusing on clergy hybrids starting with this Yoda-like monk from the 14th century Smithfield Decretals (a copy of canon law decrees compiled for Pope Gregory IX). #medievalmarginalia #medievalmanuscripts #medievalyoda

Snip from a medieval document featuring a brown-robed figure with webbed hands. His ears make him look suspiciously like Yoda.

May the 4th be with you.
