BASIRA Project:Books as Symbols in Renaissance Art

@ZacharyLesser @whitneytrettien @upennlib Thanks for making this so available. You give us a sense of sitting at your elbow as you sort & sift & discern. Reminds me of an Egger’s book title: “What Is the What?” Finding & constructing meaning. Lovely.

@lisafdavis @MedievalAcademy very very well-deserved, Lisa. Congratulations!

British Library announces that it is aiming to restore access to digitised manuscripts by September 2024: blogs.bl.uk/living-knowled…

Great to see that The Classical Review will start publishing reviews of digital classics project. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

We start the new year with a gift: a list of 20 open access books on the Middle Ages from Medievalist.net. Lovers and researchers of manuscripts will certainly be interested in the second title, volume 1 of "Touching Parchment" by Kathryn Rudy. medievalists.net/2023/12/20-ope…

Delighted to have received a CBE in the New Year Honours List. With thanks as ever to all my colleagues in the St Andrews Book History Group, whose companionship and intellectual engagement has made writing such an enjoyable experience.
