The Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 is a commonplace book, a manuscript of knowledge reflecting the interests of its compiler. Thomas Trevilian, a Londoner, copied its texts and images from printed books, engravings, and woodcuts. The manuscript provides valuable insight into the worldview of an English craftsman at the turn of the seventeenth century. Its hundreds of images include figural scenes of daily life and episodes from Christian and secular history, portraits, personifications of abstract concepts, and diagrams. It is famous for its embroidery patterns.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
