A Spring vista of Ireland's Quin Abbey National Monument in the County Clare village of Quin, captured in April 2017.

This Medieval Abbey was established in the 1400s on the site of an earlier monastery from 1250 A.D.

Once considered one of the foremost institutions of higher religious learning in Europe, Quin Abbey has endured fires, attacks and massacres.

The last Friar died in 1820, and the Abbey became a National Monument of Ireland in 1880.

It's well worth a visit if you're in the area, plus the Abbey Tavern across from it has excellent food!

Dating from the 15th C, Death wields a sickle and dances, in turn, before a cardinal, a king, an emperor and a pope. This was a common medieval theme, emphasising the irrelevance of rank and power in the face of universal human mortality- Hexham Abbey, UK

Liber Regalis

Among the remarkable treasures in our collection is the Liber Regalis - or 'royal book.'

The beautifully illustrated 14th-century English medieval illuminated manuscript gives ceremonial instructions and the order of service for the coronation.

The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066.

The manuscript is thought to have been made for the crowning of Richard II's queen, Anne of Bohemia, here in 1382.

Despite various changes over the centuries, the instructions it gives still form the basis of the coronation service today.

You can see the Liber Regalis on display in our museum, the Abbey Galleries.

—

Richard II (6 January 1367 – c. 14 February 1400)

Anne of Bohemia (11 May 1366 – 7 June 1394)

Medieval Astronomy from Melk Abbey

Image Credit: Paul Beck (Univ. Vienna), Georg Zotti (Vienna Inst. Arch. Science)

Copyright: Library of Melk Abbey, Frag. 229

Explanation: Discovered by accident, this manuscript page provides graphical insight to astronomy in medieval times, before the Renaissance and the influence of Nicolaus Copernicus, Tycho de Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Galileo. The intriguing page is from lecture notes on astronomy compiled by the monk Magister Wolfgang de Styria before the year 1490. The top panels clearly illustrate the necessary geometry for a lunar (left) and solar eclipse in the Earth-centered Ptolemaic system. At lower left is a diagram of the Ptolemaic view of the Solar System with text at the upper right to explain the movement of the planets according to Ptolemy's geocentric model. At the lower right is a chart to calculate the date of Easter Sunday in the Julian calendar. The illustrated manuscript page was found at historic Melk Abbey in Austria.

So I've finally made it to visit Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire. Beside being absolutely stunned by the ruins of the abbey itself, I almost melted when I saw this in the souvenir shop. Just look at it.

Of course I was not gonna leave this silly monk-bear there. Thank you, English Heritage, for making my day.
