Examining historical manuscripts can be a boring and dusty job, but for one curator at the British Library, it can be exciting since he never knows what he could find.
Take a look at this:
Yes that looks exactly like Yoda from Star Wars, complete with "Jedi" robes.
The image was part of a blog post from the British Library on 10 facts of medieval monsters, highlighting a new book that takes a look at illuminated manuscripts from the medieval times.
So where did the image of "Yoda" come from? Did an alien from a long time ago and a galaxy far away visit the monks who were charged with creating the manuscripts? Was it an editorial comment on a fellow brother? Or was it just for fun? One may never know.
