Ancien Armorial équestre de la Toison d’Or. Around 1435.
Compilation of equestrian portraits from european nobility and knights, in full heraldic outfits.
This book is one of my favourite things in the world, I fell in love during a exhibition in Paris, an guess what, I just discovered that you can check it online : http://expositions.bnf.fr/livres/armorial/index.htm
My life is now cooler.
For those who don’t speak french, just click “lancer le livre” to enjoy this medieval wonder. -

Illuminated Infographics—the complete set! Inspiration for a lot of the imagery and copy for pretty much all of the text is from this lovely French Gothic manuscript, which I snagged a copy of at a used book shop and now it’s my most prized possession. (And apologies to anyone who actually can read Latin, because I think I made complete nonsense out of the text.)

Medieval smiley face
This is a true feel-good doodle, drawn by a medieval reader and found in the lower margin of a 13th-century page. The surprisingly modern-looking smiley face is wearing glasses and seems to float towards the text in a balloon, quite content. This little scene made my day.
Pic: Conches, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 7 (main text 13th century, doodle 14th or 15th century).
