Got Medieval: Text on the Margins (Mmm… Marginalia)

The result is a fairly clever little joke. In order to read the text “Magnificat anima mea Dominum” or “God magnifies my soul,” you need a magnifying glass! There is also probably a little bit of recursion joke going on as well. The marginal figure holds a text in his hands that presumably has little hidden marginal figures, which may themselves hold further texts, and on and on.

Airminded · Monday, 26 September 1938

“The trenches — in London they have been dug in Hyde Park, St. James’s Park, and Green Park, among others — are intended as emergency public shelter, for people who are caught away from home or work during air raids. They are quick and dirty. As a leader in the Manchester Guardian (p. 8) reflects:

The digging of trenches in the public parks of London, Manchester, and other large cities is perhaps the most vivid of all reminders that if war comes the front line will be at home. As a measure of protection against the blast and splinter of high explosive the plan has the merit that it can be resorted to wherever land available, and in this respect those cities which for reasons quite unconnected with defence have provided themselves with “lungs” in their midst have an advantage.
