Acuario Fluvial de Zaragoza - Inscripción en antiguo lenguaje íbero cuya traducción no he conseguido nunca averiguar / Inscription in an old iberus language whose meaning I've never been able to find out.
Detalles técnicos / Technical details: Raw file processed in LR: Auto lens profile correction + Nikon Picture Control Vivid. The difference in color which appears at the bottom of the picture is due to differences in the actual boards covering the facade (amplify to see the sealed joints). Those boards were made off-site and mounted lalter on the building (See [www.d-y-d.com/sv/svex/indexex.html])
"I found these ancient inscriptions and writings on the rocks during my recent tour of the valley. Although I couldn't read them, a brief search revealed that they are religious prayers and some names. I believe they are very old, mainly because the script is undotted - and in Arabic, dots are essential for distinguishing letters. Since dots were first introduced in the 7th century AD, this suggests the inscriptions predate that period."
The inscription on the front of this monument " The angel of the Lord tarrieth round about them that fear Him : and delivereth them." is from the Psalm 34, verse 7.

This book belonged to my husband's grandfather, he gave it to us many years ago. Photographing it today for the Macro Mondays theme I wondered if he thought that my house keeping skills could do with some work - the book is called Domestic Economy, a class book for girls.!
The preface has a lovely line which says "It may be profitable to put the book into the hands of those who are already engaged in domestic work, whether daughters or mothers, mistresses or maids."
I'd love to know who it was given to in 1879.....HMM
This Arabic inscription on a wall on Chalcidon, Chania is above the small entrance to what was once the Küçük Hasan Pasha Mosque during Cretes occupation by the Turkish Ottoman empire. I imagine that 99% of tourists never even notice it!

Part of a monumental inscription from the Roman forum. Looks like part of a dedication to an emperor. I will have to do some more work to find out what its purpose was and to whom it is addressed.

Temple Kirk Inscription VAESAC MIHM RI VÆS.AC. RI. MI.H.M

In 2020 I posted 29 pictures of the letters on Temple Kirk bell tower. Here in this album are four pictures one taken with a 500mm lens and three taken with a 500mm lens and a x2 converter. These letters have been raising interest for many years.
On the North East Corner of Temple Kirk just outside Edinburgh in Scotland sharp eyes can read an inscription in stone that has been filled in with metal letters. There are various readings of the letters some of which aim to include some letters and to put others to one side regarding them as more recent inclusions. There are ideas that the inscription dates to the Templar Knights, or to their successors of this barony the The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. Pages online appear and disappear offering insights and revelations. The historic plan of the East gable in section with details from 1905 records different lettering to that seen in situ today. I have set these pictures to bring out details in the stone and of the metal to give interested partied a good view of the inscription including the letters and the stops.

“1975: Nigel Tranter says in his Portrait of the Lothians book that “there is a strange inscription on the east gable which long puzzled antiquaries, ‘VAESAC MIHM.’ This is now thought to be the initial letters of Vienne Sacrum Concilium Militibus Johannis Hierosolymitani Melitensibus (The Sacred Council of Vienna, of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem and of Malta).” Tranter gives no attribution to the translation”

I ask you not to look too closely at the carved oblong plaques near the metal letters. These carefully made recesses into the stone could also hold lettering, or give further evidence towards understanding the metal letters. The oblongs are much harder to see and I hope that their potential keeps people looking and not looking for clues and history for a long time to come.

“The incription "V?SAC MIHM" on the E gable below the bellcote seems to be a mystery. It has been suggested that it could stand for "Vienne Sacrum Militibus Johannis Hierosolymitani Mletensibus" (The Sacred Council of Vienne, to the Knights of St. John of jerusalem and Malta), or alternatively "Virgin ?des Sacra Matri Jesu Hominum Mediatoris" (Church Sacred to the Virgin, Mother of Jesus, Mediator of Men). In 1312 the Order was suppressed, and the lands were given to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, whose good work was funded by the residents of Temple who gave them one tenth of their income.

Temple Village History – Brief
www.templevillage.org.uk/temple-village/temple-village-hi...
The Old Temple Kirk may date back to the 12th century although it is more likely to have been built by the Knights of St John soon after they succeeded the Templars in 1312. The late Gothic tracery can still be seen with animals carved at the ends of the mouldings above the windows. This theory is confirmed by the inscription on the gable end of the church “VAESEC MUHM” that has been translated as “Vienne Sacrum Concilium Militibus Johannis Hierosolymitani Melitensbus” meaning The Sacred Council of Vienne, to the Knights of St John of Jerusalem and Malta.””

Paris, France, Le Palais Royal. "Les Modes," a sculpture in bronze by Wang Du (detail).
"La presse écrite, Internet et la télévision sont les supports privilégiés de son art. De ce recours quasi obsessionnel aux médias, Wang Du extrait les images les plus frappantes, créant ainsi une « post-réalité » qui oscille entre monde réel et virtualité du monde médiatique. Dans le jardin, il a posé trois journaux froissés en boule, surdimensionnés et en acier, qui appartiennent à la série des «Modes»."

on a wall in the Old Town of Rethymno, but who knows what it says...?
This region as a whole is rich with ancient history, most notably through the Minoan civilisation centred at Kydonia east of Rethymno.[2] Rethymno itself began a period of growth when the Venetian conquerors of the island decided to put an intermediate commercial station between Heraklion and Chania, acquiring its own bishop and nobility in the process. Today's old town (palia poli) is almost entirely built by the Republic of Venice. It is one of the best-preserved old towns in Crete.
The town still maintains its old aristocratic appearance, with its buildings dating from the 16th century, arched doorways, stone staircases, Byzantine and Hellenic-Roman remains, the small Venetian harbour and narrow streets. The Venetian Loggia houses the information office of the Ministry of Culture and Sports. A Wine Festival is held there annually at the beginning of July. Another festival, in memory of the destruction of the Arkadi Monastery, is held on 7–8 November.
The city's Venetian-era citadel, the Fortezza of Rethymno, is one of the best-preserved castles in Crete. Other monuments include the Neratze mosque (the Municipal Odeon arts centre), the Great Gate (Μεγάλη Πόρτα or "Porta Guora"), the Piazza Rimondi and the Loggia.
The town was captured by the Ottoman Empire in 1646 during the Cretan War (1645–69) and they ruled it for almost three centuries. The town, called Resmo in Turkish, was the centre of a sanjak during Ottoman rule.
China, Xian, Shaanxi, the Bell Tower built in 1384 during the early Ming Dynasty, with a total height of 44,6 mtr, is a noble traditional building & marks the geographical centre of the ancient capital. From this important landmark the intersection connecting the tower to the east, south, west & north central leading streets to the four main gates of the city wall of the Ming Dynasty. The 36 mtr high wooden tower stands on a square brick base, which is 35.5 mtr long & 8.6 mtr high, on each side & is the largest, best, preserved of its kind in China.
During the Ming Dynasty, Xi'an was an important military town in Northwest China, a fact that reflected in the size & historic significance. The tower built by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to dominate the surrounding countryside & provide early warning of attack by aggressors.
A inscription set in the west wall on the second floor, records the relocation of the tower in 1582 it originally stood near the Drum Tower on the central axis of the city & continued to mark the centre of the city since Tang Dynasty & the following the Dynasties. As the city grew, the geographical centre changed therefore in 1582, the tower was moved thousand mtr east of the original site. Except for the base, all parts are original & history making it a truly notable achievement in the architectural history in China.

Temple Newsam is a Tudor and Jacobean mansion, with significant alterations in the 18th Century. The house is set in a Capability Brown landscaped park on the outskirts of Leeds.
Around the top of the house, letters appear in a balustrade, declaring the piety and loyalty of one-time owner Sir Arthur Ingram. The original letters were constructed in stone in 1628, but replaced with the current metal letters in 1788. The inscription is believed to be the longest of its type in Britain. The full inscription reads: 'ALL GLORY AND PRAISE BE GIVEN TO GOD THE FATHER THE SON AND HOLY GHOST ON HIGH PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN HONOUR AND TRUE ALLEGIANCE TO OUR GRACIOUS KING LOVING AFFECTION AMONGST HIS SUBJECTS HEALTH AND PLENTY BE WITHIN THIS HOUSE.
inscription manuscrite au verso : "Jeannot à la guerre"
Mon grand-père avec ses camarades durant la première guerre mondiale - fort de la Pompelle ?
D'un caractère paisible et raisonné, il eut le douteux privilège d'effectuer 8 années de service militaire en tant qu'appelé du contingent : de 1912 à 1914 il participa à la conquête du Maroc. Envoyé en métropole au début de la Première Guerre Mondiale (au cours de laquelle il perdra deux frères, le plus jeune mourant en 1919 des suites d’exposition aux gaz de combat), il y participa au front jusqu’en 1918. À l’armistice, il est renvoyé jusqu’en 1920 au Maroc.
Comme beaucoup, il ne nous parlait que des épisodes amusants (ses tentatives inefficaces pour convaincre son encadrement de vider les caves lors des combats en Champagne, afin de ne pas laisser ce trésor à l’ennemi) ou des actes de bravoure insensés qui l’avaient profondément marqués (un Légionnaire qui remontait seul au front, ayant perdu tous ses camarades, un Tirailleur Sénégalais qui voulait continuer à se battre en ayant été amputé de des deux bras…).
Je ne l’ai jamais entendu parler avec colère de ses ennemis ou de ses officiers. Je pense qu’ils partageaient au fond le même quotidien et étaient pris dans une machine trop puissante pour eux.
Sa bien innocente satisfaction fut, d’après ce qu’il m’a raconté, d’aller après-guerre aux cérémonies du 11 novembre et d’interpeller les nouveaux héros, un statut indispensable pour faire de la politique après toutes les guerres, leur demandant où ils étaient entre 1914 et 1918, car il ne les avait pas croisés. Et puis il s’était lassé de cela aussi.
Je ne l’ai vu qu’une seule fois s’assombrir, en pensant à son instituteur qui les avait si bien préparés à accepter avec enthousiasme le drame à venir. Mais sans doute lui-même avait-il été préparés à délivrer ce message.

handwritten inscription on the back : "Jeannot à la guerre" (Jeannot at war)
My grandfather with his comrades during the first world war - fort de la Pompelle ?
Of a peaceful and reasoned character, he had the dubious privilege of doing 8 years of military service as a conscript: from 1912 to 1914 he participated in the conquest of Morocco.
He was sent to France at the beginning of the First World War (during which he lost two brothers, the younger one dying in 1919 from exposure to combat gases), he participated at the front until 1918. At the armistice, he was sent back to Morocco until 1920.
Like many, he only told us about the amusing episodes (his ineffective attempts to convince his management to empty the cellars during the fighting in Champagne, so as not to leave this treasure in the hands of the enemy) or senseless acts of bravery that had deeply marked him (a Legionnaire who went back to the front alone, having lost all his comrades, a Tirailleur Sénégalais who wanted to continue to fight having been amputated of both arms...).
I never heard him speak angrily about his enemies or his officers. I think they basically shared the same daily life and were caught in a machine that was too powerful for them.
His innocent satisfaction was, according to what he told me, to go after the war to the November 11 ceremonies and to call out to the new heroes, an indispensable status for politics after all the wars, asking them where they were between 1914 and 1918, because he had not come across them. And then he got tired of that too.
Only once did I see him darken, thinking of his teacher who had prepared them so well to accept with enthusiasm the tragedy to come. But certtainly himself had been prepared to deliver this message.
"War is the massacre of people who do not know each other, for the benefit of people who know each other and do not massacre each other." Paul Valery
