The Book of Kells and its Madonna and Child

Inaugurating a new series of posts: The Social Media Codicologists. You might not know it, but out there, in the social media sphere, there are hundreds of people like Sexy Codicology that share fantastic images of medieval manuscripts, along with great and interesting information. We want to highlight some of the posts we come across on our Tumblr. The first post of this series is a miniature shared by buonfresco:

Madonna and Child from the Book of Kells, Folio 7v, Late 8th or early 9th century, Scotland

The European Library Widget

A Widget for Book Lovers

A few days ago, while looking at the newstream of the Sexy Codicology Facebook Page, we notice the European Library promoting their widget. We contacted them and asked if it was possible to install the widget also on our blog. This lead to an exchange of emails that helped us installing the widget. In 24 hours, after a bit of tweaking on our side, the plugin was installed and ready to be used. Today, we got promoted on their Facebook Page.
