Some time ago my friend Tina Anderlini told me about an article she was writing and asked me if she could use one of my museum photos from the Schatzkammer in Vienna.

…and now you may guess what was in my mail this week. Exactly – an issue of the magazine Moyen Age with her article and with one of my museum photos. 🙂

Thank you very much Tina!
I really like your article! 😀

I was very happy to be able to support her article with a good close up picture of the 12th century Cingulum on display at the Schatzkammer in Vienna. This are the moments when I think that all the time and effort spent at the museums taking good photos and detail photos in sometimes really odd positions really pays off. Well, this moments and when I am working at one of my projects where I need this close up pictures to look something up. …or when Tina and I are “discussing” certain theories and I want to back up my theory for the actual discussion… 😉

Though I don’t really understand French besides some single words, Tina Anderlinis article “Un témoin des modes et mentalités médiévales: la ceinture 2e partie” looks very interesting.

…and because it is about belts in the 12th century I might take all what I somehow remember from the 6months of French I had at school and will try to translate as much of the text for myself as possible…
Well, when I find some time for it. It just might take a while because my project list is rather long already. But I definitely put it on my to-do-list. Until then, I will enjoy the photos of her article. 😉
