Happy November! Chopping firewood is the Labor of the Month this month, as presented in LJS 449, a 15th century Medical and astronomical miscellany from Germany that includes a full calendar. Gathering acorns for pigs is another typical labor for November, as below from a 15th century French Book of Hours (Genève, Bibliothèque de Genève, Ms. lat. 33, p. 11r – Book of Hours (www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/bge/lat0033/11r from Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/dpERMY).I’ll be posting a Labor from LJS 449 every month through May 2016.
