Links to pages about Cappadocia
www.magnificenttravel.com/cappadocia.html Most web pages about Cappadocia have something to do with travel, but many of those have some wonderful photos and some tidbits of history. This is one of them, and with links (at the bottom) to the three cities near the covenant: Goreme, Zelve and Avanos.http://cappadociatraveltours.com/sf-articles-of-Cappadocia_Monuments-tp-4.htmAnother site with all kinds of information, including the ancient names of the cities and provinces. Very helpful. Click the links on the right to check out the various locations, many referenced in the saga.

While, technically, not about Cappadocia or Asia Minor, I was sent this link on one of my SCA lists. It links to a page which links to a 1913 tome entitled <i>Seven Centuries of Italian Lace</i>, published in 1913 and fully illustrated. Probably totally irrelevant and useless, but still pretty cool.

Mailing list I'm on had a thing about reading stones: (quoting herein)
Reading stones--hemispherical pieces of of beryl, glass, or quartz that, when laid upon the page, magnify text and images--were in popular use in Western Europe beginning some time between 1000 and 1250 C.E. and at least until spectacles became widely available. They were especially useful for near-sighted readers and for people who spent long hours pouring over tiny script, and were often found in a scribe's tool box. You can see three photos of reading stones on the Antique Spectacles and Other Vision Aids site. One is of a reproduction in the collection of the Zeiss Optical Museum <http://www.antiquespectacles.com/history/reading_stone.htm>. The source of the others <http://www.antiquespectacles.com/statements/1600.htm> isn't specified. The second link has a quote attributed to Roger Bacon on the subject to 1268...not too terribly long after our period, and it certainly stands to reason that these would be part of a magi's toolbox. |

Couple of calendar links that may (or may not) be of use.
One is a Medieval Calendar Calculator which pulls up the calendar for any month and year. http://www.wallandbinkley.com/mcc/mcc_main.html The other is a website which shows every Easter date ever (past and future). The main page shows from 1990 to 2050, with a link to a table that (with a little cross-referencing) shows from 1583 to 4099. It does, however, have a .zip textfile showing every Easter date from 326 to 4099 A.D. (e.g. Easter is 1220 was on March 29th, and for 1221 will be April 11. This site is at http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~gmarts/eastcalc.htm.
Do you find this valuable?
