"1466: A Tapestry of History Unveiled" Step back in time to the year 1466, where a myriad of captivating stories intertwine. From the enigmatic John Colet, immortalized by Holbein's brushstrokes, to the noble French companion, John V of Bueil, whose adventures echoed through history. Even across continents and cultures, figures like Montezuma and a Moroccan Jew left their indelible mark. In this tapestry of tales, we encounter Erasmus and his literary comrades Scriven and Penn as they navigate the intellectual landscape of their time. Crosby Hall stands tall in Bishopsgate, London - frozen in a timeless black-and-white photograph from 1890 - bearing witness to centuries past. Traveling further southward brings us to Lombardy's enchanting Mantua. Here lies the bell tower of St Dominic; its architectural grandeur declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008. Its chimes echo through Lombardy's picturesque landscapes. But it is not just individuals who shape history; organizations leave an imprint too. The Brotherhoods' Accounts reveal glimpses into Rouen's "Charite-Dieu and Notre-Dame, " settling scores with meticulous precision on chromolithographs that transport us back to those days. Among these accounts emerges Scipio Forteguerri – a name etched onto parchment alongside tales yet untold. And there again appears John Colet – now Dean – weaving his own narrative thread within this intricate fabric of time. Erasmus returns once more but adorned with ornate circles that symbolize knowledge shared among scholars striving for enlightenment amidst turbulent times. As we delve deeper into the annals of 1466, each hint unravels another layer revealing humanity's ceaseless pursuit for understanding and connection across borders and eras alike. Let us marvel at these fragments woven together intricately—a testament to our collective heritage that continues to shape our present and inspire our future.
