Feeling blue?
1000 years before the blue elephant emoji was added to phones, some Italian monks drew this elephant and friends in a manuscript for Abbot Theobald of Monte Cassino. Monte Cassino was an important monastery and home to St Benedict whose rule is the basis for the Benedictine Order of monks and nuns that still exists today.
This manuscript contains an abbreviation of Hrabanus Maurus's De Rerum Naturis (On the Natures of Things). Hrabanus Maurus (d. 856) was archbishop of Mainz. In addition to encyclodpedia-like works sucha as De Rerum Naturis, he wrote Biblical commentaries, grammars, teaching texts and poems with complex palindromes. He wrote so much that his surviving writings fill about 6 modern type-set volumes.
Materials: parchment, pigments, ink
Contents: Hrabanus Maurus, De Rerum Naturis
Date: 1022-1032
Now Archivio dell'Abbazia, Montecassino, MS 132 (image from a facsimile)

Benedykt z Nursji
Św. Benedykt z Nursji nie wykłada jakichś czczych spekulacji teologicznych, lecz zaleca usilnie, jak zwykł to czynić, taki sposób myślenia i postępowania, który wynika z prawdy o otaczającej nas rzeczywistości, co prowadzi do wcielenia teologii w życie. Nie tyle pragnie on bowiem, by wiele rozmawiano o prawdach dotyczących Chrystusa, ile raczej, by ludzie żyli rzeczywiście tajemnicą Chrystusową i…

PAMIĘĆ WYRYTA W KAMIENIU
Zapomnianymi i zdewastowanymi grobami Polskich Weteranów spoczywających na cmentarzu St. Joseph’s Moston w Manchesterze, opiekuje się od ponad ośmiu lat.

Ten stary cmentarz jest miejscem spoczynku ponad stu Polskich Weteranów, którzy pomimo swojej heroicznej walki dla naszej ojczyzny nigdy nie mogli do niej powrócić. To naprawdę…

I saw this painting at the National Gallery, London yesterday. It was near famous Monets and Van Goghs etc which were, of course, fabulous. But I kept coming back to this relatively small landscape - Les Terrasses de Monte Cassino - by the Australian impressionist John Russell. This photo doesn't do it justice at all, but the colours glowed and something about the pinks and mauves and the clouds in the turquoise sky just made me so happy and also made me long to be there, looking at that view.
