Where do these random medieval drawings come from? And who finds them?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

They’re called marginalia and they came from bored scribes or monks or whoever doodling.

People studying texts find them and document them along with them texts. Some of them are pretty hilarious.

Marginalia is general term for whatever was drawn in the margins, I think a more precise term is drollery, from French drôle which means funny. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drollery

I watch a lot of history documentaries and one of the channels is ‘chronicle - medieval history documentaries’ channel on YouTube. I just discovered they used to have someone post memes and have recently restarted that (in the community section)
