I may start again soon. Unfortunately, the pictures I had posted did not come out so, as you can see, there are a few blank frames. All the best.Marypanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418953285267116721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167235693336733167.post-79304121984119861662019-04-02T01:21:56.999-07:002019-04-02T01:21:56.999-07:00Hi Very Nice Blog.

I started this blog when I was doing my Phd to help me focus and engage with the period I was researching. When I completed my Phd I stopped adding posts due to lack of time. I may return sometime in the future, hopefully :)Marypanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418953285267116721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167235693336733167.post-68336526387343712132015-11-30T10:15:38.741-08:002015-11-30T10:15:38.741-08:00Interesting site.

Roman mathematical texts that survived the burning of the Library of Alexandria, filtered around the Muslim world for nearly a thousand years before being re-translated back into Latin after the Christian re-conquest of Spain. Same thing with musical instruments. Why no more recent posts?

If the image you state displays a bow used with a psaltery then it's not something I've heard of. Historians believe that the bowed psaltery is completely unhistoric, but they may be proved wrong one day.

However, there is an image in the book 20,000 Years of Fashion that shows a musician blowing a horn, but holding a triangle shaped instrument in his hands. He is holding it point down, the multitude of strings seem to run from the shortest side to the outside, longest edge, and it looks like he might have a bow hanging from his belt. The credits state that the manuscript is 11th or 12 century (I don't remember which one.) No one can tell me for sure what that instrument is. Lots of people that I have shown this to say that they think it is a bow, a few have said it might just be a fold of his tunic. I would love it if it was a bow - secondary evidence that the bowed psaltry is a medieval instrument!Melandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11758059502151957401noreply@blogger.com
