That’s Johnny “Many Fingers” Provenzano. He’s a bit of a rake.

There are some things that are just universal:

impressive that a 7 year old medieval youngster could write. illiteracy was the norm. although it doesn’t appear that he was writing in cursive.

But as it turns out, this historically significant settlement of northern Russia is also home to around thousand personal ‘tomes’ that are inscribed on bark of birch trees and are almost preserved in perfect condition. In fact, historians hypothesize that there are 20,000 similar specimens still waiting to be salvaged from the conducive anaerobic clay soil layers of the city environs.

What a wonderful treasure trove waiting to be uncovered. It is also unusual to have documents like these scribbling from a young boy. Often, the only thing that survives from the past, perhaps because paper or writing medium in the past was generally precious, are official documents. It would be like having the IRS tax code survive the next 1,000 years, and nothing else. How dreary would that be for a future historian!

And by “universality,” they don’t mean the whole universe.

Cool. Alexander Nevsky fighting the German knights made into a film in 1938 by Eisenstein. Can use it in my Leningrad and Army Group North class in the fall

Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't he deserve better?

My guess - - child labor - working and training as a scribe...
