Of Catalogs, Cupboards, and Chemists: Revising the Handlist of the Ordinal of Alchemy
This essay tells several related stories concerning the provenance, loss (including, as it shows, the imagined loss), and re-emergence of some of the witnesses of Thomas Norton’s Ordinal of Alchemy (1477), one of the central texts of late medieval English vernacular alchemy. Taking into account the kinds of infrastructure and digital labor that make such discoveries possible, it untangles several bibliographic knots which have confused the record…
Knives out: Culinary violence, alimentary texture, and Chaucerian character
This article explores the interrelation of technique and texture in medieval English recipes and the figuration of character in the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer. I show first how instructions in recipes for meat-based dishes are informed by a phonetic violence that simmers within the phonemes of verbs used for those culinary techniques that are performed in the service of alimentary smoothness. I then discuss how this kitchen poesis serves literary…

Gertrude Bell's Mesopotamian Archaeological Photographs
Photographs taken by Gertrude Bell during her 1909 and 1911 archaeological trips to Mesopotamia provide not only a valuable record of sites, monuments, and landscapes that have suffered near or complete destruction over the past one hundred years, they also provide insight into the mindset, aims, and agendas Bell held when she produced these images. Her photographs taken at two sites in particular, Assur and Ukhaidir, highlight some of her attitu…
Nothing Was Funny in the Late Middle Ages: The “Tale of Ryght Nought” and British Library, MS Egerton 1995
London, British Library, MS Egerton 1995 is a well-known miscellany of the late Middle Ages, filled like others of its kind with practical and didactic texts meant to assist its readers in their attempts at social, economic, and spiritual self-improvement. But it also contains a heretofore ignored lyric, the paradoxical “Tale of Ryght Nought.” This essay reads the poem as a playful but important response to the manuscript in which it is found and…

Archaeology and Acrimony: Gertrude Bell, Ernst Herzfeld and the Study of Pre-Modern Mesopotamia
Letters sent from the German scholar Ernst Herzfeld to Gertrude Bell between 1909 and 1912 provide valuable information about the scholarship of these remarkable characters as they explored issues pertaining to the development of early Islamic art and architecture in Mesopotamia. Through a spirited and often fractious exchange of ideas about a range of artistic and architectural topics that included vaulting techniques, the design of early mosque…

Petrographic Analysis of Bronze Age Pottery from Tell Hadidi, Syria
Petrographic analysis of Bronze Age pottery from Tell Hadidi on the Upper Euphrates in northern Syria was undertaken as part of a general program of analysis of pottery from the Tigris-Euphrates basin. Apart from providing a characterisation of the pottery made at this point along the Euphrates River, the results indicate differences according to periodization and vessel typology as well as distinctive approaches to raw materials based on functio…
Grog, Petrology, and Early Transcaucasians at Godin Tepe
Godin Tepe was the site of excavations by the team from the Royal Ontario Museum between 1965 and 1973 (see Fig. 1). It has subsequently become one of the definitive type-sites of the central western Iran, owing principally to its extensive stratigraphic sequence, which spans the Chalcolithic Age through to the Iron Age (Young 1969, Young and Levine 1974). Seven main phases of occupation were recognised from excavations at Godin, the earliest Lev…
