I recently bought 10 carved "imitation cinnabar" beads. The site where I bought them said that they were formed of layers and layers and layers of red lacquer...
Greetings, ... Real cinnabar is a mineral, mercuric sulfide. Extraordinarily poisonous! Import of real cinnabar has been banned for a long time. Some of the ...
... ?!? I've got several small jars of it lying around, that I use in scribal work. As long as it's correctly bound, it's not a big problem. I just never work...
Oh, OK, I see what you mean! ... And so my narrow-focus shows.....when I read "cinnabar", or hear the word spoken, I'm referring to the mineral still in...
... Even so, that's still a slightly bizarre notion, since there's plenty of places in the US where cinnabar is found naturally in rocks. There used to be...

I have a new favorite for "silliest medieval rosary picture." I won't spoil it by telling you what it is, but it's now up on my Paternosters blog:...
How cute! I really like a 16th century engraving by Glockendon of a goose dressed with the "sturz" - the elaborately folded linen headdress (think flying ...
... A rosary is called a "pair" of beads in the sense of a complete "set." It's an archaic use of the word; apparently the modern limitation to "sets of two"...
A pair didn't always mean two. A couple 16th - 17th century examples of the top of my head are a pair of bodies (now called a bodice) and a pair of virginals...
Oh, me too! I'd love to see the goose! I'd like to make an illuminated border out of all 'religious' animals. That would be so fun! Thanks Katherine and...
