I love that the notary Arasimino’s ‘signature’ was his face, and that he had slightly different moods each time (#medieval #notaries had their own signs with which they authenticated documents - this one is from 1294 and was active in #Bologna)

Salisbury Cathedral was amazing, but I also enjoyed visiting the nearby St Thomas' with its magnificent doom painting! It's full of amazing details-sadly my phone camera isn't good enough to zoom in well, but here are a few key parts.🧵
Medieval wall painting showing the apocalypse over an arch. In the top centre is Christ in majesty. On His left, the just are raised from their graves and led to heaven; on His right, the damned are dragged into a hellmouth.
