Archaeologists have recovered a rare medieval notebook from a latrine in Germany. The book is about 750 years old and made of wooden tablets coated in wax with a leather binding. Eight of the ten pages have been written on in Latin. Designed to hold temporary thoughts or notes the wax could be smoothed away ready for another day. However some of the earlier thoughts can be seen. The latrine contained other artefacts too. https://www.medievalists.net/2026/05/medieval-notebook-discovered-in-german-latrine/ -
