One of the most ubiquitous images in medieval illustration, the speech scroll or banderole is a touchable object. Even when annotating acts of speech, speech scrolls are likely to be pictured unspooling not from the speaker’s mouth, but rather the speaker’s hand. This chapter reflects on touch as multisensory language in the medieval banderole, exploring how the banderole, as a visual sign, conscripts touch to amplify and translate sound. In the so-called Carthusian Miscellany, BL MS Additional 37,049, banderoles make an exceptionally robust presence. This chapter examines some of the manuscript’s many images of banderoles to argue that the Miscellany repeatedly invokes touch as part of its ascetic sensorium, picturing prayer as an action reinforced by contact with parchment as skin, such that reading and praying in the eremitical wilderness become a bodily practice.
