EDITORS COMMENTS
Ms 322 f. 3r, May: A Glimpse into Medieval Falconry". This print transports us back in time to the medieval era, specifically to the month of May. The image is an illustration from the De Brailes Psalter, a renowned illuminated manuscript created around 1250 by William de Brailes. In this scene, we witness a man engaged in the ancient sport of falconry. Perched on horseback and clad in noble attire adorned with a coat of arms, he holds his majestic bird of prey firmly on his gloved hand. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this medieval pastime. The De Brailes Psalter was primarily a book of psalms but also served as a calendar for its readers. Each page represented one month, featuring roundels depicting various activities associated with that time of year. Falconry held great significance during medieval times as both a sport and a practical skill for hunting small game. It required immense patience, precision, and deep understanding between falconer and bird. Through this remarkable print courtesy of New College, Oxford's Warden and Scholars collection, we are granted an intimate glimpse into the rich history surrounding falconry – an emblematic tradition that seamlessly blended artistry with nature's beauty.
