False prophets
"Frogs emerging from the mouths of humans and beasts are a well-known symbol from medieval illustrations. They stand for false prophets who want to mislead people."

The Lost Medieval Library Found in a Romanian Church - Medievalists.net https://www.medievalists.net/2024/11/lost-medieval-library-found-romanian-church/
Hidden away for centuries in a Transylvanian church tower, a forgotten medieval library has come to light, revealing treasures as old as the 9th century. This extraordinary discovery of manuscripts, books, and documents offers a rare glimpse into the intellectual and cultural life of medieval Romania.
The discovery was made two years ago in the Church of St. Margaret in Mediaș, a 15th-century Gothic structure built by the Transylvanian Saxons. A team led by Professor Adinel C. Dincă of Babeș-Bolyai University uncovered the collection in the church’s Ropemakers’ Tower, where it had remained hidden for decades, possibly centuries. Biblioteca Batthyaneum, which first announced the find, described it as a scene straight out of an Indiana Jones adventure, complete with a struggle against nesting pigeons to recover the precious volumes.

The fact that the author of Ancrene Wisse felt obliged to write out these strict guidelines suggests that religious women did not always act in ways befitting their holy houses. It raises the question: where are the badly behaved nuns in the Middle Ages?

What Medieval People Thought of Different Religions: Insights from Francesco Suriano - Medievalists.net https://www.medievalists.net/2024/07/medieval-different-religions/
Have you ever wondered how people in the Middle Ages viewed those of different faiths? You might think they focused on moral and religious differences, but one medieval Italian writer, Francesco Suriano, offers a surprising perspective: the real differences lay in everyday habits like clothing, food, and pets.

Medieval game collection unearthed | University of Tübingen https://uni-tuebingen.de/en/university/news-and-publications/press-releases/press-releases/article/medieval-game-collection-unearthed/
team of archaeologists discovers an almost 1.000-year-old games collection including a well-preserved chessman, gaming pieces and dice. Laboratory analyses show that one party played with red. The laboratory results also allow conclusions to be drawn about the astonishing continuity of the rules of the game. The detailed analysis of the finds promises insights into the gaming world of the medieval nobility and the origins of the European game of chess. The finds will be on display for the first time from June 2024.
the very best healing...
The Latin at the top reads: “The name of this herb is Canabe”. And at the bottom: “Grows but in waste places, and at roadsides, and along hedges. The very best medicine for healing.”

Persian and Sogdian silversmith elements, Buddhist ideas and Syriac Christian liturgical practices, may all have left their traces on the making of the object."
