Title page of Huntingdon Library 69310, the earliest printed version of Henry IV Part 1 to survive fully intact (from 1598).

In Parergon 42.1, Jaecheol Kim looks at the paradoxical depiction of rumours and parasites in Shakespeare's second history tetralogy, arguing it reveals the parasitical nature of sovereign power, upon which early modern rule and governance relied.

The horned helmet of Henry VIII, part of a full suit of armour made by Konrad Seusenhofer between 1511 and 1514. The armour was a gift from the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. The helmet includes a face piece with protruding eyes, a toothy grimace and a stubbly chin with ram's horns rivetted to its upper part.

Henry VIII loved to receive cryptic gifts, but the so-called horned helmet given by the Emperor Maximilian I is perhaps the most bizarre! In @parergon.bsky.social 42.1, Grace Waye-Harris analyses its long-disputed iconographical significance.

Late-medieval Books of Hours were tools for navigating both earthly & spiritual challenges. Elizabeth Burrell's article in @parergon.bsky.social 42.1 explores English & French examples held in A/NZ libraries, providing transcriptions & translations of some apotropaic texts.

Opening page to the Life of St Margaret in the The Auchinleck Manuscript - text in two columns with a gap in the bottom right where an illumination (from the reverse page) has been cut out.

Supernatural women in medieval literature seem to inhabit opposite ends of a moral spectrum: saints good, sorceresses bad. Kathryn Walton’s article in @parergon.bsky.social 42.1, though, shows that medieval images of female power were much more kaleidoscopic than we assume.

Woman’s memoirs give fascinating insight into life in 17th-century northern England Newly reunited manuscripts by Alice Thornton show how she navigated personal crises during tumultuous events such as the civil war She was a 17th-century Yorkshirewoman whose memoirs combined commentaries on major political events with local and personal details of her life. Now an academic who has studied the writings of Alice Thornton has said they provide a “northern female perspective” in contrast to the London-based diarist Samuel Pepys. Thornton’s memoirs contain accounts of financial catastrophe, rumours of sexual impropriety, childbirth, attempted rapes and repeated interventions by God to deliver her from an early death. Thornton lived to be 80, a remarkable age at the time. Continue reading...
