Cucumbers for Constipation and Vinegar for Verrucas? These are #CuriousCures for the 21st Century... We asked our exhibition visitors for medical tips, and some are just as curious as the cures found in medieval manuscripts! Find out more in this blog: loom.ly/Z2XyHfU
We see handwritten notes displayed on a visitor suggestion board at the Curious Cures exhibition.

As we enter the season of final papers and exams, remember that today we also welcome the season of sunshine (with occasional showers). Take a walk, smell the flowers, and enjoy the longer days. Happy first day of Spring from all of us at POLIS.

☘️ A St. Patrick's Day special for #MedievalMonday! ☘️ This fine illustration of St. Patrick preaching is part of Cambridge University Library MS Ff.1.27 (Part II), a collection of 14th and 15th-century manuscripts from Bury St. Edmunds. @theulspeccoll.bsky.social
A fine medieval illumination of St. Patrick preaching to a small crowd of people. We also see medieval script and decorative borders.
