Medieval Yoda!
I encountered this image some time ago while browsing (online) a delightful medieval book known as “The Queen Mary’s Psalter". Made in England in the early 14th century, it contains some 1450 drawings and miniatures. Many of them are meant to bring a smile to the face of the medieval reader. This one transcends the centuries and does the same in our day, especially if you are a fan of Star Wars (as I am). There he is: Yoda, who traded his light saber for a spear and is charging towards a medieval Sith Lord on a sturgeon! May the force be with him - he will need it.
Pic: London, British Library, Royal MS 2 B vii. More information (and an additional 1440 images) are found here.
