    The Madrid Codices: Leonardo da Vinci's treasure trove digitised by Spain's National LibraryOn 13 February 1967, the Spanish National Library announced the discovery of the Madrid I and II codices, two manuscripts by Leonardo da Vinci that had remained poorly catalogued for more than a century. But they are being digitised to make them accessible to the public.By Lucia Blascohttps://www.euronews.com/culture/2026/02/20/the-madrid-codices-leonardo-da-vincis-treasure-trove-digitised-by-spains-national-libraryLeonardo da Vinci at PG:https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/1629#books #culture #library #history

    @paninid I hate to "well, actually…" this because it's a funny joke, but well, actually…Julius Caesar (the one who was stabbed) died 44 BCE. The change that messed up this happened about 100 years prior, when the Senate (Rome was a republic back then, there was no emperor) moved the start of the consular year (the start of the consuls' term) from the Ides of March to January. It was moved to January 1st so that Quintus Fulvius Nobilior could begin his term early.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintus_Fulvius_NobiliorIt's a common myth that Julius Caesar is somehow responsible for this because he was the one that introduced the julian calendar (the predecessor to the gregorian one we use today) and this officially made January the first month of the year, even if this had been the practice for about 100 years already. At this time the 5th and 6th months were called Quintilis and Sextilis. Quintilis was renamed to honor Julius Caesar after his death, and later Sextilis was renamed to honor Augustus Caesar.I'm sure I'm making some mistake here, besides the obvious one of trying to correct somebody on the Internet 😉.

    Manicomio di R. A former neuropsychiatric hospital somewhere in #Italy. Terminology that reflects a bleak chapter in medical history, "manicomio" meaning "madhouse".The institution opened in the 1870s. A research lab, radiology, electrotherapy rooms, dental care, an operating theatre and a chapel are later additions.Italy’s new national health system in the 1980s saw all these "mental asylums" close.https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/medical/manicomio-di-r-italy/ #UrbanExploration #Photography #Urbex #Abandoned #History

    Tra pochi minuti il #RayoVallecano esordirà in Conference League. Chi vedrete allo stadio (esclusi i tifosi ospiti a cui la UEFA garantisce i posti) ha fatto la coda stanotte perché i biglietti non sono venduti online. E alcuni di loro saranno seduti sul cemento perché la società, orgoglio del quartiere più povero e operaio di Madrid, non può permettersi di ristrutturarlo, figuriamoci rifarlo. 30 anni fa #SkaP - Como Un Rayo https://iv.duti.dev/watch?v=Ys0nILRcO2k@calcio #calcio #music #patchanka #ska #punk
