Monks did, from time to time, hide in letters. Like here, on a page of Hrananus Maurus’ ‘De Laudibus Sanctaen Crucis’ printed in 1503. #skystorians

I agree with the subtext entirely, but there is a rearranged Vergilian Cento that *should* be read. It's exceedingly literate and artful & one of the likely reasons it's not read is that it was constructed by a woman.

The Frankish monk Rabanus Maurus died #OTD in 856. His ‘De laudibus sanctae crucis’ (a series of poems on the cross) involves complex imagery, the letters within it making new texts. Here’s the first printed edition of the text, produced at Pforzheim in 1503. @theulspeccoll.bsky.social Tb.51.57.
