The Pagn Influence on Christian Art in Ireland is from the Journal for Undergraduate Research. It’s well written and has nice illustrations. Going to send it on to a friend who is taking students to Europe next summer on Christian art study.

It was tweeted from medievalists.net, but the original site had all the pretty pictures, so I just linked to it.

  1. Regarding 1066 in an hour, the 21.37 is just a time stamp as this image is supposed to represent what it looks like on a real i-phone. It is in no way related to content or how long it will take you to read it.
