I've often wondered how realistic is the image of Charlemagne coming home after a hard day of plunder and tribute, and settling down with Alcuin to a cup of tea and some intense theological study.

The Opus Caroli, in which the Franks attacked the Byzantine theology of icons. In the margin, erased but visible under UV light, 'optime' - excellent point! The voice, perhaps, of Charlemagne.

I've been cut off *by* my parent. Never seen an article about that either (as in, estranging yourself from your adult child for emotional reasons, not disowning your 'rebellious' child for reasons of prejudice etc)

This is an 8th-century Georgian translation of Jeremiah 12, probably copied at an Orthodox monastery in Palestine. Around the 10th century, it was overwritten with Aramaic passages from the Palestinian Talmud (Bava Qama 9), which is the smaller perpendicular text in the image. @theul.bsky.social
