15th-Century Manuscript


 15th-Century Manuscript Covered in Medieval Cat’s Paw Prints and Urine

Speaking of cats, this is definitely the mark of one angry feline in the State Archives of Dubrovnik.

The scribe's notes, when translated into English, read: “Here is nothing missing, but a cat urinated on this during a certain night. Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night in Deventer and because of it many others [other cats] too. And beware well not to leave open books at night where cats can come.” It's good to know that 600 years later, cats haven't really changed, as any cat owner could attest. 😁
