A later owner tried to wash out a scribble on the title page of this Byzantine novel, but still the ownership inscription remains. A good thing too, as it tells us the book belonged to poet & playwright Ben Jonson.

Today is the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This detail of the Madonna enthroned, holding a rose, with the Christ Child, is from a 15th-century altarpiece by Florentine artist Bicci di Lorenzo (1375-1452), which is on permanent display in the #AbbeyGalleries.
