ALTA tablet with Cyrillic text discovered in Veliki Preslav, east of the Round Church, in a workshop for painted ceramics (possibly a monastery scriptorium), Bulgaria
X century
Length 19.8 cm; Width 11.5 cm; Thickness 0.05 cm; Weight 219 g
Three sides of the tablet are preserved with a missing lower end. The tablet is made of white kaolin clay, inscribed with letters drawn with dark brown paint, and covered by a colourless glaze. On the front side is a Cyrillic text of which up to 12 lines are preserved. The height of the letters is 0.6 cm, and the spacing between the lines is 1 cm. The inscription is part of a liturgical text. The back side is smooth.
The tablet has been discovered together with fragments from other ceramic tiles with Cyrillic letters during archaeological excavations in a painted pottery workshop (or possibly a monastery scriptorium) east of the Round Church in Preslav.
The tablet is part of the National Archaeological Museum’s permanent exhibition and is on display in the Middle Ages Hall.

Battle of Castillon, July 17, 1453, Charles-Philippe Larivière, 1839
At the Battle of Castillon, the last major clash of the Hundred Years War, English forces under John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, were cut to pieces by massed French artillery. Talbot and his son were both slain. This painting depicts the moment of Talbot’s death (inaccurately–in fact he was unarmored, due to a vow he had taken several years before).
