Heart Book
I was so happy to have just learned about your site from a friend. While reading your posts I immediately thought of this Heart Book.
Earlier this year, I was working on a school project online and came across the Heart Book. I was very intrigued with it’s content, history and it being shaped as a heart. I remember being disappointed the book was not relevant to my project; allowing me an opportunity to share my discovery. But, now I can!
The Heart Book is regarded as the oldest Danish ballad manuscript. It is a collection of 83 love ballads complied at the beginning of the 1550’s in the circle of the court of King Christian III. To learn more here’s a link to The Royal Library.
Thank you, I really love your site, especially the stories.
