some little guys i saw today from a book of hours, the little animals are in a procession of the funeral of Renard the fox
the top two are pulling down the line of text to where the scribe forgot to write it in 😭 i just know the illuminators were clowning on the scribe
“brother Bartholomew forgot a line again put a little guy in there”
I’m so lucky that i’ve been able to see this book of hours twice im so spoiled

Poor guy :(
This manuscript was made, probably in the 1310s, for someone connected with the church of St Andrew at Gorleston in Norfolk, and hence gets its common name ‘The Gorleston Psalter’. This manuscript is rich in ‘bas-de-page’, literally bottom-of-the-page, illustrations. This image shows one such picture: a fox carries a goose away in its mouth, and the goose says ‘queck’ (quack). The scene is probably from the tale of Reynard the fox. Images in the margins of medieval manuscripts were there to instruct but also to amuse. They often contain visual observations of the times and society.
