#nuntastic #teamnun - brilliant example of medieval women's voices resurfacing!
Sometimes working with manuscripts gets us really, really close to the people from the past allowing us to hear their voices. This is a story of a letter from a schoolgirl to her teacher, written probably sometime at the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. A thread 🧵 #medievalsky /1

Follow along with TeamNun Dublin and TeamNun St Andrews as we use experimental archaeology to see how wool fibre and dyer's madder ended up in ELS215's mouth. We'll go from preparing fleece to embroidering on linen -- exploring the materials and motions of ELS215's fibre artistry.
