Hi Simon, I can confirm that your description of the dormer hoist is spot on. In my youth I used to deliver animal feed to farms in Scotland and have seen this type of hoist in use. Most likely the one in the convent would have been used for lifting sacks of flour, possibly barrels of wine and crates of cheese, possibly to a window or door directly below the dormer.

Ryan & Simon together- they’re a trip !! 😂❤ Very interesting today - the French writings on the wall, the buttons & medallions Simon found and the incense papers … Quite a find !!!

Loving this new what feels like a TV show, with excellent presenters, great visuals, and sound, and magazine style content! 🎉

Yannis is learning from the best! This is an apprenticeship that will be the envy of his mates when he becomes a master himself. Great story about the poisoning and trials.

What interesting items Simon has found. He does a great job describing things also. He works very well on camera, no shyness or nervousness at all. He really adds another dimension to the videos. Thanks for sharing, and have a Blessed day.

Ryan! It’s important to remember that the nuns were subject to all the strengths and weaknesses that any other women have. Some became very troubled or were very troubling! The other sisters looked after one another as part of their way of life. So, if one of them became mentally disturbed, for example, the others did what they could to help the sick sister. Your wall-writer may have been one of those troubled sisters. Perhaps she was one of those people who were implicated in that poisoning plot and was forced to live in house arrest in the convent! That was done sometimes to aristocratic women rather than to put them in a common prison or to put them to death.

The time gap between l'Affaire du Poison and the convent being built is too long for this to have come directly from a prisoner. It could have come from a young maid in attendance on an elderly prisoner who then recorded this in her own dotage.

Yes you are correct. In Mexico they found buried fetuses or babies in the walls of convents or churches. Nuns suffering at the hands of soldiers or priests or having affairs. This convent seems relatively tame for its age. Only a couple of small areas give a creepy feeling - but most of it is lovely, bright and more like a working enterprise. Although I feel the Nuns were taken advantage of by someone selling them on unnecessary renovations and taking their money.

Simon the medal is of St Magdalene and on the other side is the Sacri Vultus - Holy Face Relic: The Sacri Vultus - Holy Face - Relic is one of a number of images that were created and actually touched to Veronica’s veil in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. Very interesting finds and I do think those buttons were from uniforms as the Convent was a hospital at one stage. The inscriptions on the wall was very interesting thank you Moe and Ryan for the translation, I must admit it felt spooky for me too when you were in that room.

I'm curious if there is more text in the mystery room. It's a bit strange if it's only in one place.

The room purifying papers were not all that surprising if you consider the quality of the sanitation and the types of illnesses they were working with especially in the hospital wing.

Ryan there is a wonderful book out now where cancer cells are called "King cells or Emperor cells" . It is called Emperor of all Maladies and is amazingly well researched and has won many non fiction book awards. Written by Siddartha Mukherjee. I do not remember whether or not he refers to Queen cells however. Interesting, yes?

Learning so much about construction and what-all from Simon and Yannis working. Learning French from Ryan too. If I was a much younger 82 yr old, I would love to be there learning myself!!!…. Alas, all is vicarious and so very much fun for me. Thanks everyone.

The missing words could be, without taste. Just a thought. Fascinating that it should be found written on a wall at the convent. ❤🐨

It's really admirable how you're not just giving Yannis a very solid, hands-on education on the job, but also public exposure! Because no matter how good you are at your job, you constantly have to "advertise" it! After all, YOU are the product you sell! And I have a feeling that Yannis will get a much better price than what was originally laid out for him...

ooooh excellent - I was hoping you'd go back to the mysterious writing! Nice to see the sunny weather.

I’d say you can have a future in the making of mystery/SF thrillers any day Ryan Very nice!

I would carefully wash some of the other walls down there may be more hidden writing

You might get a UV light to help see the writing. It sometimes helps bring out some types of dyes. They aren’t very expensive, so you wouldn’t be out much if it didn’t work.

Simon is a natural teacher. He puts things into a clear logical form to pass them along. Yannis and us are lucky to have him pass along his knowledge and his discoveries. Thank you, Simon. Those inscriptions almost read to me like notes made by a nurse trainee of things which she wanted to make sure to remember.

Seems like the same stuff Billy was cleaning off on the château ceiling in previous videos. I wonder if there are other writings in that room.

A dormer with a wench reminds me of Amsterdam. The wench is used to move heavy items to upper floors. look at the windows below the dormer area that could have been doors for moving items.

look at Yannis how far he has come in such a short time, well done young man x

You should take high resolution photos of the writings on the wall for posterity before they get destroyed. You can also use different colored lights (wavelengths) to bring out the writing. There's probably a conservator at a local university who can help with all that.

I'm really enjoying this phase of the Convent Cinematic Universe!

Thank you Ryan for the what felt like a news reporter with an current affairs update! And your dramatic exit was ‘parfait’ 😂 “We’ll never know”

Wow! That was a remarkable bit of history. Really enjoyed Ryan’s translation both with the wall writing and the booklet. As they say no ‘I’ in ‘TEAM’, everybody is simply fantastic ❤

There is a lot of plastered walls in that room. Is there writing on any of the other walls in that room?

I learned drywall finishing from my father and grandfather. I wish I could learn plastering from Simon. His wealth of knowledge is very encouraging

Yanis - I teach you good 😂 I’m dying! He is showing his wonderful personality I love it!

The writings on the wall are interesting. Well done Ryan. I think they sound like the writings of someone who was somewhat disturbed. A convent could well have been somewhere where someone who was psychologically unwell could have been cared for in the past.

The boys have done you proud Billy!
