Historical Thursday - Antarctic Notebook, 15c Crusade, & a 16c Gandalf

Over on archaeology.org, an article from late last year heralds a "Photographer’s Notebook Found in Melting Antarctic Ice" here.

Also, on the Medievalists.net website, an article from 2011 takes a look at "Writing and Imagining the Crusade in Fifteenth-Century Burgundy: The Case of the Expedition Narrative in Jean de Wavrin’s Anciennes Chroniques d’Angleterre" here.

Finally, Boing Boing tells us that "John Dee was the 16th century's real-life Gandalf" here.
