Selected pages from the Rothschild Canticles, c. 1300.

The canticles live in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library and are fully digitized. :)

my first step in the shield making process was to investigate what the boss on the shield is made of. Most do not seem to be obviously made of metal so i made a prototype shield boss made of coiled rope sewn together with heavy jute twine and soaked in glue. This is fairly resistant to strikes with various implements but i think if this construction was used it would most likely have a wickerwork frame underneath for extra strength.

after shooting it with my longbow i can confirm that it is very strong. Using a slightly different construction method it might not even be able to be pierced by arrows from a higher poundage bow.

I'm going to recreate a 15th century bossed heater shield with no starting experience. I'm sure this will not be hard at all.

honestly i do not like the tate modern, the interior specifically seems to have been designed to inspire fear in the hearts of anyone who enters. all the rooms are either very big and largely empty or they have some kind of terrifying precipice in them. maybe im just a hater tho idk
