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...
I'll scan her for us - the internet search was not fruitful. Katherine ... From: Chris Laning <claning@...> Reply-To: Paternosters@yahoogroups.com Date:...
Hi All, It's that time of year again, Christmas, and I was thinking of making a Paternoster for a friend of mine. But I just wanted to check if they would ...

Yes, and look at the disguised fox trotting after Mistress Goose with very evil intent and carrying a bunch of leeks to augment the dinner .... Magic! Mistrss...
I actually thought the she fox (she is wearing a "bundlein" headdress" was carrying a folding stool to sit in church, as is often seen in the woodcuts....

Greetings, Can anyone point me to some images of medieval or renaissance rosary rings, if such things exist? Cheers, Danielle [Non-text portions of this...
They certainly do. I posted some pix online in my Paternosters blog awhile back: http://paternosters.blogspot.com/2004/11/ring-around-rosary.html ... From:...
