John Caius (1510–1573), scholar, physician and re-founder of @CaiusCollege, is known for his study of Galen & as a proponent for anatomy & dissections. But did you know he once kept a puffin in his house for 8 months, for research? Apparently, it bit anyone who fed it! #UTKCaius

Máscara funeraria. La pieza proviene de la Estructura VII de Calakmul. Los antiguos mayas creían que estos objetos representaban al difunto aún con vida, en ese sentido, es posible que la nariguera y los elementos ondulados en su boca representen el aliento o su respiración.

For centuries, dozens of passages from Camden's Annals have been invisible to the naked eye – until now. Through the use of new imaging technology, we've been able to uncover hidden text within this 400 year manuscript: the first official account of Queen Elizabeth I's reign.

Para esta noche: Un brillante texto de Saeko Yanagisawa sobre los códices prehispánicos y la tradición Mixteca-Puebla. Este estilo artístico se caracteriza por el uso de una línea-marco que delimita los colores y las formas. Fue empleado en manuscritos, cerámica y pintura mural.
