Please help me find a post for a class
a while ago i saw a post about a medieval text instructing parents to, if their child learning to walk tripped over an object, scold the object in question. i really want to mention it in the short historical part of a presentation for my class on Child and Teenager Rights, but tumblr being tumblr, i haven't been able to find it. i would REALLY appreciate if someone were able to send it my way, esp by wednesday evening
“𝕿ell me, O Cormac,” said his son once, “what were thy habits when thou wert a lad?”
“đť•e not too wise, be not too foolish
be not too conceited, nor too diffident
be not too haughty, nor too humble
be not too talkative, nor too silent
be not too hard, nor too feeble
If you be too wise, one will expect too much of you
If you be foolish, you will be deceived
If you be too conceited, you will be thought vexatious
If you be too humble, you will be without honour
If you be too talkative, you will not be heeded
If you be too silent, you will not be regarded
If you be too hard, you will be broken
If you be too feeble, you will be crushed.”
— The Instructions of King Cormac
Tecosca Cormaic is an old Irish gnomic text and it presents a dialogue between the legendary King of Ireland, Cormac mac Airt, and his son, Coirpre Lifechair. I couldn’t find much information about it online. I copied the text from Celtic Myths and Legends by Peter Berresford Ellis. Jeff Lilly writes on druidjournal.net that the text is "taken from the Book of Ballymote, which dates to about 1390. The “Instructions” themselves are certainly much older — probably they date to pre-Christian times, since they fail to mention God anywhere."
So Westeros should be full of the beauty that is medieval marginalia
Tyrion: ummm Ser Brienne what exactly are you adding to the end of Jaime's page?
Brienne: you know...knight stuff, snails, it's what you do in books
Tyrion: lovely, but are we sure it's what should go in the white book?
Samwell: she's right, we all do it, in every book
Tyrion: well, uh...yes it appears you're both right. Carry on I suppose. Um...
Robin Hood: Who are you?
Eustache the Monk: I’m you but I can say fuck

If I may recommend my favorite medieval text that I read this semester:
Love Stricken and Lost One Who Inspires Passion
A twelfth century play written in Cairo, it is performed via shadow puppets. It's a little problematic when put into context with modern texts, but may I just offer you a play hyperfixtating on butts and homoeroticism, it will at least give you a few laughs during these trying times
There's literally a character named "Penis Masturbater" and no I am not making this up
A University of Bristol academic has succeeded where countless cryptographers, linguistics scholars and computer programs have failed—by cracking the code of the 'world's most mysterious text', the Voynich manuscript.
In his peer-reviewed paper, The Language and Writing System of MS408 (Voynich) Explained, published in the journal Romance Studies, Cheshire describes how he successfully deciphered the manuscript's codex and, at the same time, revealed the only known example of proto-Romance language.
"I experienced a series of 'eureka' moments whilst deciphering the code, followed by a sense of disbelief and excitement when I realised the magnitude of the achievement, both in terms of its linguistic importance and the revelations about the origin and content of the manuscript.
"What it reveals is even more amazing than the myths and fantasies it has generated. For example, the manuscript was compiled by Dominican nuns as a source of reference for Maria of Castile, Queen of Aragon, who happens to have been great aunt to Catherine of Aragon.
"It is also no exaggeration to say this work represents one of the most important developments to date in Romance linguistics. The manuscript is written in proto-Romance—ancestral to today's Romance languages including Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, Catalan and Galician. The language used was ubiquitous in the Mediterranean during the Medieval period, but it was seldom written in official or important documents because Latin was the language of royalty, church and government. As a result, proto-Romance was lost from the record, until now."
