SHAKESPEARE'S WORLD

LEARNING TO WRITE THE ALPHABET Learning to write the alphabet is one of the first stages of writing literacy. For early modern English children, this meant first learning to read the letters of the alphabet (printed in black letter) from a hornbook. They then learned to write the letters of the alphabet in one or both of the two main handwritten scripts, ELVES | SHAKESPEARE'S WORLD Culpeper’s The English Physician (1652) notes that this herb grows in shady places and, governed by the sun, is hot and dry in the third degree.

NO FOOT, NO HORSE
Of the seven ailments mentioned in this manuscript, four involve the horse’s feet or hooves. There is an old saying among horsemen, “No foot, no horse.”. Despite their size and strength, horses are notoriously fragile animals. Four slender legs and small hooves must bear the horse’s full weight of eight hundred to two thousandpounds.
SHAKESPEARE’S WORLD AND UPDATING THE OED: A SPLENDID “Antedatings” for the Oxford English Dictionary are always exciting, showing that a word or meaning has been around for longer than previously thought. Sometimes, though, they just take your breath away. For instance, the OED’s editors recently prepared a new version of WHITE and its various compounds and derivatives. This involved, among other things, carefully THE HAIR SHIRT OF SIR THOMAS MORE #CATHOLIC I recently spent a few days at Buckfast Abbey, in the South of England, in order to conduct research and write an article about the hair shirt worn by Sir Thomas More, Chancellor of England under Henry VIII between 1529–32.

The poison pool. A few weeks ago I wrote about my trip to Buckfast Abbey to work on the hair shirt of Sir Thomas More. While I was there, I enjoyed walking in the grounds and seeing the beautifully cultivated gardens, including a medieval-style garden divided by trellises, box hedges, and trained fruit trees, and broken into four amply sized “YOUR VERY LOUING FREND” By @mutabilitie When was the last time you signed yourself someone's "very loving friend" at the end of a letter or told them you were theirs to be commanded (or, even more ominously, "used")?

NO FOOT, NO HORSE
Of the seven ailments mentioned in this manuscript, four involve the horse’s feet or hooves. There is an old saying among horsemen, “No foot, no horse.”. Despite their size and strength, horses are notoriously fragile animals. Four slender legs and small hooves must bear the horse’s full weight of eight hundred to two thousandpounds.

ABOUT SHAKESPEARE'S WORLD Shakespeare’s World launched in December 2015 and went on hiatus in October 2019. This is a placeholder site where you can still access the project Talk pages, and find information. We'll keep updating it periodically, and may one day relaunch with improved transcriptionfunctionality.
Shakespeare's World is a collaboration between the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., Zooniverse.org , and the _Oxford English Dictionary_ of Oxford University Press. The project invited people to transcribe manuscripts created by thousands of men and women in and around Shakespeare’s lifetime, 1564–1616. The project featured three genres of early modern manuscripts including receipt books (aka recipes), letters, and newsletters. These transcriptions have been published on the Folger's website called Luna, alongside images of the original manuscripts. These transcriptions facilitate search and discovery, and have been used by several researchers in publications including books and articles. Another important outcome of the project was to identify words and word variants that had not yet been recorded in the _Oxford English Dictionary_. New words and word variants were automatically detected while volunteers transcribed, and volunteers were encouraged to search the OED when they found unusual phrases. This resulted in several important discoveries, which you can read about on our blog and on Talk. Just search for the #OEDhashtag.
