EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Medieval Table of Moveable Feasts and Explanatory Note This image showcases two medieval fragments: a Table of Moveable Feasts and an explanatory note, both originating from the 14th century. The larger leaf, known as a Tabula des festes mobilibus, is a table of moveable feasts, an essential component of the medieval liturgical calendar. The smaller leaf, with an explanatory note in the same hand, likely dates to the 16th century. The larger folio, intricately illustrated with red and black ink, lists various moveable feasts and their corresponding dates. These feasts, such as Easter and Pentecost, change annually based on the cycles of the moon and the sun. The table is a testament to the meticulous record-keeping and astronomical knowledge of medieval scribes. The smaller leaf, partially adhered to the larger one, features an explanatory note in Latin. The note clarifies the meaning of certain terms and symbols used in the Table of Moveable Feasts. The handwriting is consistent with that of the 16th century, suggesting that this note was added to aid understanding of the complex table. The inner sides of both folios have been captured in the photograph, revealing the intricacies of the inkwork and the delicate condition of the paper. The fragments offer a glimpse into the rich history of medieval manuscripts and the intricacies of the liturgical calendar. These precious fragments, now preserved in the UCL Library Services Digital Collections, provide a valuable insight into the medieval world and the meticulous record-keeping practices of the past. The Table of Moveable Feasts and its accompanying explanatory note are a testament to the enduring importance of preserving historical artifacts and the knowledge they contain.
