There are incense burners and then there's this Deccan one from the 16thC. The peacock's feet rest on elephants. Regal enough for you? (British Museum)

Ghost pub. The Bull, Eastry, Kent: 16thC, closed 2010 after the locals objected to the noise of the new landlord’s drum’n’bass nights. There were plans to turn it into a care home, though it looks to be residential

I picked up this little 16thC portrait at auction a few years ago. Sadly, she’s unidentified. I think she looks a bit like Mary Neville, Lady Dacre, but does anyone else have any suggestions? She’s clearly expensively dressed and dates to the 1550s ish #tudorportrait #tudor #tudors #tudorwoman

Last day to get July's #yarnclub colorway "Sunglow Plum". 5 mini skeins in a golden plum gradient inspired by a 16thc depiction of a noble Black figure. This month's package also comes with a cute gauge ruler & the usual pattern ideas & portal access. Take back your time, crafters!! đŸ§¶ #yarnsky
Variegated miniskeins of a rusty plum color, adorned with purple, pink, and white flowers. In the center is a photo of a manuscript depicting a 16th century Black nobleman.

Despite Cheadle being the more interesting & significant of the 2 villages with a proper High Street & a 16thC Parish Church (I'm from there!), apart from 2 photos, there is no mention of it. It's all about Waterhouse's Quality Food who probably paid for it. www.chesterstandard.co.uk

DYK by mid-16thC, #PublicNudity was a thing of the past? In 1556, #PopePaulIV went so far as to order painters to clothe the nudes in #Michelangelo’s "The Last Judgement". Ghosts of the #HistSex still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

Seeing all these great CfP for #RenSA26 and I’m so conflicted whether or not to submit a proposal. For sure I’d love to go to San Francisco and meet wonderful colleagues, but the political climate is beyond dire and it sure won’t improve #16thC

Sorry Melita, starter packs only allow for up to 150 people to be added, but I can take a note of your name in case I get enough interest to begin a second #16thC starter pack

Interesting building too! All in one, heavily rendered, with early 16thc timber-framed tower characteristic of the Welsh Borders.
S side with porch, with timber-framed tower.
E end from NE. 3-light E window with no tracery, angle buttresses. The deep splays of the side windows suggest the chancel is old (13thc or earlier)
Interior looking E. Square-headed perp windows, tympanum between nave and chancel, presumably lathe-and-plaster.
Looking W to the tower. Ceiling below roof. Dropped section before W wall.

Erasmus died #OTD in 1536. This 1517 Noctes Atticae was heavily annotated by a 16thc reader who makes extensive reference to the lectures of Paolo Bombasi, regarded by Erasmus as 'the best of friends' and cited in the 1508 edition of his Adagia. bit.ly/Q-Gellius-G3...

Both townlands are Old English, both attested in 16thC and Imal's appears in the 14thC Ormond Red Book so neither are related to the modern Eade/Eades family name which are (very) New English. Edeston and Edisto(w)n are the original form which is Ed's Town in modern usage. "Who's Ed, Ed's dead baby"

Edward Law did seem to collect some interesting bits and bobs to put in it too.
Painting over the chancel arch. Way to Calvary with St Veronica and large depiction of the gate of Jerusalem. Low Countries, early 16thc, circle of Bernard van Orley.
Intricately carved marble pedestal appropriated as a small font. In "Hindoo" style. Ellenborough was governor general of India 1841-4.
Three stalls with misericords, renaissance style, probably from the Low Countries, late 16thc.
Mannerist misericord of a bearded faun inside strapwork flanked by two masks.

He’ll run an Optimus robot in a skin suit, powered by Grok v69, and claim it’s legit because the robot was “naturally born” in a U.S. datacenter. The Supreme Court will allow it based on 16thC Dutch corn law. Everyone claps.

I have Earnshaw's pamphlet. I tried fitting his plan over aerial photographs late last year. this comes out at 120 m which is big but not absurd (like some groundplans of it). I did seem to think the evidence for it being that long was shaky and mostly based on 16thc pacings

i was just saying that might be the message that they were going for with the altered flag. But the situation in Australia was very distinct from Ireland. They would *not* have gotten free by being chill. Britain’s been in ireland for 700 yrs, and colonizing since 16thc (hence “sectarian”)

So many great papers at #RenSoc25 in #Bristol. Just a few highlights for me... Laurie Atkinson on "Transnationality, intermediality, and print shop relations in The Shyp of folys of the worlde (1509)." đŸ§” 1/? #16thC #EarlyModern #skystorians @srsrensoc.bsky.social

So on the straight question: Is it or is it not "Classical Music"? Students generally agreed that Mozart, Haydn & Tchaikovsky was, but *no agreement* at all on: 13thC Plainchant 15thC Latin Mass 16thC Elizabethan Courtly Dances Bernstein: 'Somewhere' Schubert: 'An Die Musik' (1/2)

I used to teach a short workshop on the “future of classical music.” I started by playing them 20 excerpts and just asked them to say whether each one was or wasn’t “classical music”. Nobody ever agreed

DYK the Vatican’s 16thC insistence on witnessed church weddings, announced weeks in advance, put a final end to priests’ marriage & inheritance of church property by their sons? All kids by #CommonLaw marriage were now illegitimate & couldn’t inherit. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com
