ReplyDeleteoh, what a tease - looking, as one would, at the manuscript on the table 'jenepar donne apersone' has me foxed, apart from giving or bestowing, which is happening - L, put us out of our misery
apart from that - in some circles the kicking off of a shoe is an idication that one really has had enough

I've been having a problem with that manuscript. I think we'll have to accept that we'll never know.

ReplyDeleteah, you said the same of Maghella, same phrase, and lo see what we now know of the minx
another challenge then, so the games afoot, the hounds straining and the chase is on - oh, how i love the chase . . .

I would be interested to know when the drawing was made and where it came from. Is it meant to be descriptive or just an early example of spanking art?
ReplyDeleteRegrettably I know nothing about either the origin or the age of this picture. It will have to remain one of life's mysteries.

probably early eighteenth entury. The french Je ne pardonne a personne means: I forgive no one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the translation.
ReplyDeleteWhat an erudite blog this is turning into - art critisicsm and latin tags being exchanged! So long as I don't forget that its prime purpose is to get people quietly horny.

I wouldn't be too concerned - throughout the country, indeed the world this is after all the world wide web, there will be sticky keyboards from middlefingers and eleswhere . . .
