Onlangs was ik te gast in het NPO2-programma 'Spijkers met Koppen' om het te hebben over βDe onuitspreekbare zondeβ. Dit satirisch actuaprogramma wordt al 35 jaar lang voor een livepubliek op cafΓ© in Utrecht uitgezonden. Bijzonder sfeertje.

Klopt min of meer: de Engelstalige, academische versie is uitgebreider (incl. literatuurlijst/voetnoten), terwijl de Nederlandse versie gericht op een breed publiek. De methodologische reflecties zijn er stukken korter en er is enkel een leeslijst ipv voetnoten. Maar geen inhoudelijke verschillen.

Detail from a medieval manuscript: folio 155 verso in British Library, Yates Thompson manuscript 13. At the top of the image, a single line of Latin text in black ink. To the left of it and below it runs a bar border in blue, pink, and gold. In the empty space between the border and the line of text sits a painted miniature depicting the Virgin Mary, clad in blue and red robes and crowned, straddling a huge, hairy, ferocious demon. She has grasped the monster by its horns and straddles it, wrestling it to the ground. Her face shows only the mildest irritation. To the left, stands an angel clad in pale robes, its blue and green and yellow wings unfurled. The angel looks on placidly, holding the infant Jesus in its arms, as if the situation were entirely mundane. Frowning, the infant raises its arms, as if spurring his mother to even grander deeds.
Please enjoy this 14th century depiction of the Virgin Mary wrestling a ferocious demon while an angel babysits (because why not? π€·π»ββοΈ). #MedievalManuscripts #Manuscripts #RareBooks #Women π π
