Lunchtime Talk: Ink, Wax and Stone: Searching for the People of Medieval Aberdeen
Talk by Professor Jackson Armstrong, University of Aberdeen
The people of medieval Aberdeen made their imprints on the world in various ways. They set down in written records aspects of their lives, work, possessions and identities. The more prominent among them affixed personal wax seals to documents to prove their authenticity. Some left memorials to themselves and their relatives carved in stone. Through these and other types of sources – some clear and some more mysterious, and some now held far away from Aberdeen – we can trace fragments of stories of the people who made the burgh their home.
