Hello there!
I recently received a wall calendar as a gift from my friends, and they said, 'You're always writing about calendars, and now you've got a pretty sweet one.'
The calendar was called 'Struggling Medievalism,' which was a bit of a weird name.
It had horses on the cover, and for some reason, it immediately made me think of a horse in a coat. I wasn't wrong, though. As one of my friends, a former spy, once said, 'Never give in to your first instinct, because it's always right.' He was paraphrasing Talleyrand, who said, 'Never give in to your first emotional impulse, because it's always noble.' What a clever guy.
What's gotten into me? I'm not sure, but you'll understand soon enough. The calendar is that quirky.
I've been using it for a month now, and I have to admit, the content in my previous garden calendar was boring and outdated. It was all copied from somewhere, and it wasn't even useful. But then I started browsing through this calendar, and I found it interesting. It's got a sense of humor, too.
Okay, let's start from the beginning.
The wall calendar is standard, but I was blown away by how well-made it is.
The build quality is seriously impressive - it's way sturdier than my old calendar. But that's not all - things only got better from here.
It turns out there's actually a user manual for this calendar. Who would've thought?
It turns out there's a pretty big team behind this calendar. And they didn't just put in the work - they put in the sweat and tears.
But it's not just about looking at and reading the calendar - you've actually got to think a bit too.
Check out some of the authors. Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, here's the address of the website of the publishers.
It turns out this isn't their first calendar. They released a similar one last year, but we totally missed it.
Let's see what they have to say about themselves.
We struggled to top last year's calendar. But we think we've managed to. More than 20 authors dug deep into dusty archives to find the least cheesy events and facts and surprise you all over again.
Yes, the content is presented differently from what we're used to - you know, the usual 'born, baptized, died' format. This one's a bit more exciting.
You can expect different sections:
Now that we've dived into some of the more unusual events in history, let's take a look at some of the more mundane stuff.
Historical events like battles, coronations, weddings, and even riots at chariot racing events. I've also come across a case where a person who was both a saint and their killer were canonized.
Holidays and superstitions like Day of Eudokia the Whistler, Day of Daria the Dirty, Day of Theodosia the Koloysatnitsa, Day of Ustin the Gooseberry Lips, Day of Avdotya the Snotnose, Day of Panteleimon the Wanderer, and so on.
Notable figures like Copernicus, Magellan, and Catherine de' Medici, all the way to the Byzantine Emperor known as Copronimus and the woman who became the Pope.
Recipes that are surprisingly targeted, like Johannes Buchenbach's tortilla for pimps and prostitutes, pork liver for perverts and gluttons, and a herbal dish for notaries and programmers.
Alright, let's take a look at a few pages.
And here we are on January 1st.
It looks like nothing out of the ordinary, but you can't help but feel a spark of life from the past.
Let's start with something simple.
Galileo's name is well-known, at least by the phrase 'And yet it turns!' It turns out he also measured air pressure.
His actions are something else entirely. He could have answered the church's main question - how many angels can fit on the tip of a needle.Or take Cicero.
Cherchez la femme, or in Russian, Shерше ля фам. It's like something out of the story of Salome and John the Baptist. Of course, many women have kind hearts, but it seems not all of them do. I mean, who could come up with such thoughts?There's some interesting information coming up, just like I promised.
Recipes.Forecasts.At the end of each month - crossword.Answers at the end of the calendar.So, you can do your own divination. You ask a question, open the calendar to any date.
I have to say, the way historical events are described is a bit different from what we're used to.
What caught my eye was this little calendar when I was writing about Utrecht. They've got their freedom, and we've got Ivan the Terrible. So, I hung the calendar in its rightful place.
Now we'll be rethinking history all over again. Maybe it wasn't just medieval times that suffered? No need to give advice to knights and ladies. Let's leave that to them.
The year will end, as it should, with a letter to Father Christmas.
To write that letter, I'll have to recall the whole year and think hard. How weird is that? The same place gives birth to different calendars.
The dads are different here. We've got 'newmakingstudio,' or 'nmstudio' for short, or 'Egorov Kirill Vasilyevich' - the IP. It's a community of history buffs, and not just that. And the price of this masterpiece? On Kristi's, it starts from 500 rubles and up. On average, it's around 1,000. You tear out the page, and you've got a little trinket in your hands, plus a smile and some daydreaming.
And I highly recommend it.
I have to admit, my review got a bit all over the place. Yeah, I can see why. The instructions say to use one sheet a day, and that's more than enough mental stimulation. But then I tried to cram too much in, and that's just not possible. As the saying goes, you can't try to grasp the ungraspable. Even mental stimulation needs to be taken in moderation.
