New post on the Miqua blog: Kleiner Exkurs durch die Musik im Mittelalter – Eine Ofenbekrönung aus dem 14. Jh. in Form eines Fidlers by Ulrike Schikowski

The blog post deals with the figure of a fiddler on a 14th century stove tile recovered from a cellar that adjoined the Jewish hospital to the west. It is therefore quite possible to place it in the immediate context of the hospital. The fires during the pogrom in 1349 caused the glaze to melt.
