A little while ago I saw someone post their bookmark graphics to Facebook. And I thought: “I have some of those!” So here’s a little Joliffe for your enjoyment…
The image of Joliffe here is taken from a 15th century painting by Carlo Crivelli — “The Virgin and Child With Saint Jerome and Saint Sebastian”. When I saw it in a book of period paintings, I immediately thought, “That’s Joliffe”. I pointed it out to my son, and he surprised me by putting together these very handsome bookmarks (which I’ve been handing out for the past several months).

I strongly suspect that Joliffe does not have a halo, though 😉

Only when he’s playing a saint and the script forces it on him. 😉

Where do I get these? Sorry to be dim. The one you show is beautiful and I would like to have it and any others there are.

Could you let me know if this reaches you?
I want to thank Margaret Frazer for her defending my ancestors from the historical war against the Middle Ages that I resent so much. I show the Fore Word about the clean hospitals to anybody I can trap.
It seems to me that Western Man’s progress is measured by how they THREW OFF the unmitigated nonsense in the Books of Middle East Wisdom rather than from a Renaissance of reading Galen’s unmitigated crap about humors and his insistence that a woman could not become pregnant if raped, and Aristotle’s declaration that men have more teeth than women.
Thank the two ladies for me and accept my gratitude for giving me this opportunity to say this.
