Medieval scribes complaining about how drunk they are and how much the work sucks in the margins and colophons is fun, but for my money the imprecations they sometimes included against thieves and vandals are where the real entertainment is. One of my favourites goes something along the lines of “if anyone steals this manuscript, may he die the death” – and I’m sure which particular mechanism of demise “the death” is referring to here would have been obvious in context to contemporary readers, but looking back a thousand years later it’s wonderfully cryptic.
Can you tell me which script this is from? I want to quote them to my medieval English Professor from last Semester
Marc Drogan’s Anathema!: Medieval scribes and the history of book curses (Montclair, 1983) attributes it to the Arnstein Bible:
Endnote 23 cites to Gerald Donaldson’s Books—Their History, Art, Power, Glory, Infamy and Suffering According to Their Creators, Friends and Enemies (New York, 1981); however, the latter doesn’t seem to be available in ebook form, so I can’t verify the source of the provided English translation.
So apparently another whole ass animated scooby doo movie was canceled, this time featuring Krypto the Superdog, but it leaked onto 4chan and was uploaded onto the internet archive
And you didn’t even mention the name of it, let alone link to it? Scooby Doo and Krypto, too! For shame!
In love with this random guy who had a lock slapped on his storage unit for not paying its rental and not only did he ignore management and took his stuff out without paying, but also chose to steal the lock itself and send it to the LockPickingLawyer along with a confession letter
