Morning Medieval Miscellany

I'm composing this entry early because I'll be heading up to visit Montecassino tomorrow: I'll check this entry early in the morning my time so let me know via comment if anyone wants pictures or descriptions of anything.

• Today's miscellany begins with what Lost in Transcription calls "news of the freaking awesome" and Medieval Material Culture articulates a little more clearly as the discovery in northern Poland of the remains of Copernicus.
• StevenTill reminds us of a few Nov. 20th events in medieval history.
• The Cranky Professor has posted several pics and his reflections upon visiting the early medieval church silver at Dumbarton Oaks.
• And send wishes for better health to Dame Eleanor Hull, who is afflicted with a severe cold and may soon be buried in cats and herbal tea-bags.
