fun with ceremony (Coronation)

Apr 23, 2013 21:36

This past weekend I had the chance to participate in something really spiffy -- a recreation of a historic coronation ceremony. Most SCA ceremony is fundamentally modern, dressed up in renaissance trappings; the chance to do more-serious recreation is pretty special ( Read more... )

Coincidentally, I'm playing that setting of Non Nobis, Domine this Sunday.

sounds like fun! I once went to one in a medieval style chapel (obviously not medieval since it was in Colorado lol but it looked right), and they did a pretty danged good job of having music be central and stuff. It was pretty awesome. :)

That does sound lovely. I listened to some of the selections she put up on Facebook, and you all sounded beautiful!

Not quite on topic, but possibly of interest to you - read in haaretz yesterday of the discovery in Britain of a recipe book from 1140CE. Prior to that the earliest medieval cookbook was dated to 1290. That's all I could get from the artiicle; Ha'aretz put up a paywall recently, and though I can get past it for a low introductory price of NIS 4.90 for the first month, I don't know what the price goes to after that.

Interesting! I thought there were cooking sources earlier than 13th C, but perhaps those are fragments and this is an intact book? By any chance is there an English version of the article? (I, um, have a boot-strapping problem; I know Ha Aertz publishes in English too, but I couldn't find anything on that page that looked like a path to it.

The English edition might as well be a different paper. It is published mostly for handwringing anglophone galutniks who want to fret about the matzav. That's why I read the Hebrew edition. If you want the article in English, you might need to go to the guardian. I suspect that may be the actual source in any case.
