Medieval Lighting – Jill Williamson

Posted on 2010 under Medieval blogs | 1 Comment

Came across Jill Williamson’s blog this morning. She has several articles related to Medieval life, the most recent being part 3 of a series on Medieval Lighting. I commented on her article about how simple an oil lamp can be, but that most people today would be unable to use one . . . no switch to turn it on! Anyway, Jill’s articles are nice reads – some of the information was not new to me, but some of it was. I never considered using the oil from cheese to burn in a lamp – the aroma must have been . . . interesting. Stop by her site and congratulate Jill on her Christy Award nomination.
