Medieval Manuscript Store!

I'm taking a bit of a break from trip writing, but I'll be back on it tomorrow, I promise! ;-)

Today was pretty productive. Had a German class in the morning, got some reading done, and started a new course on climate change! The course is a block course, so there are only three 5-hour classes of content. Then, after some reading, you take an hour-long oral exam with about three other students. It's really fascinating, and gives a more in-depth approach to understanding climate processes. However, 5 hours of intense concentration doesn't leave you with a whole lot of energy... Fortunately, my wonderful roommate made pasta with salsa, chicken, and garlic, and then we discovered "The Prestige" on YouTube. Need I say more? ;-)

Anyway, I thought I'd post this short post (well, comparatively short) because I made a TRULY EXCITING DISCOVERY. When looking up art supply stores on Google Maps, guess what I found? A store selling facsimiles of medieval manuscripts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (!!!!!!!!!!) ;-)

Of course, I don't have anywhere near the funds to afford any of them (they're upward of a thousand euros), but I may be in great danger of spending lots of time there, window shopping. :-D They also sell calligraphy pens, but they're ridiculously overpriced. Oh, and if you're interested in swords, armour, clothing, or jewellery from the medieval period, you'll find it here too!

A page from a facsimile of "The Corpus Apocalypse",
their featured product and , apparently,
"The Most Lavishly Illustrated Apocalypse of the Gothic Era." ;-)
