What Are Medieval Marginalia?
Medieval manuscripts—you know, the ones with giant curly letters starting a paragraph and a suspicious little cat peeking out from behind them—were written entirely by hand. Along the edges of those pages, scribes and later readers added drawings known as marginalia. These sketches range from decorative flourishes meant to accompany the text to completely unhinged doodles added later: knights battling snails, animals behaving badly, and faces doing things no face should ever do. In short, marginalia prove that even in the Middle Ages, people could not resist drawing nonsense in the margins.
Who Is This a Good Gift For?
These magnets are perfect for lovers of castlecore decor, medieval history nerds, and anyone who appreciates humor that’s a little weird and a lot clever. They make especially great gifts for Ren Faire enthusiasts, fantasy fans, book lovers, and people whose sense of humor skews toward the delightfully absurd. If someone enjoys art history and a good visual joke, this is for them.
About the Artist
Each magnet is designed by Kate of ChicalooKate and inspired by real medieval marginalia, lovingly reimagined for modern life (and modern refrigerators). All magnets are handmade in Ann Arbor, Michigan, blending centuries-old visual jokes with contemporary craftsmanship. Because the Middle Ages may be over—but the joy of a ridiculous doodle lives on.
