medieval cosmology was.....well, medieval.

until the 17th century, people widely believed that the universe revolved around the earth. solar eclipses were mythologized as a dragon consuming the sun, comets were miracles, and evidence of godly forces, and lumpy faces got added to everything.

these three depictions are my personal favourites: a solar eclipse from the Missile Pragense, another eclipse from Ettenheim-Münster 32, and a comet from The Augsburg Book of Miracles.

if you’d like to wear a small piece of history, these are available as enamel pins at greerstothers.shop
