I’ve been working on the contents of this manuscript for three years and I’m seeing it for the first time in the flesh today. Suffice to say I’m quite excited

'Murray and Boyd open up the Ovide to a new generation of readers.' Sebastian Dows-Miller (@DowsMillerSeb) on a translation of an influential French translation #Echobox=1707925610" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">the-tls.co.uk/articles/the-m…

Just had the realisation that the symbol ‘ß’ started life as a ligature between long ‘ſ’ and rounded ‘s’ I’m sure this is basic knowledge for Germanists but as a Gallicist it’s damn cool 📷: BnF D2-1853, p. 39

I’m back with my people! And by people of course I mean manuscripts, with apologies to anyone else at the @britishlibrary today 📚

Really excited to be talking about tangled scribes and tangled methods in this session later today, followed by a round table on podcasting with the @digitalmedieval PG committee. Busy day! #IMC2023

@mphilpott7iclo1 @keblelib @Ox_Medieval_Soc The other more solid marks above and sometimes below the letters are indicators of abbreviation

@mphilpott7iclo1 @keblelib @Ox_Medieval_Soc Yep! ‘Hairstroke’ marks to help distinguish i’s from minims used to form m’s, n’s etc., and the origins of the dot we now have on the i!

We had a great morning showing off some books to Keble students 😍 Some great questions, including what do the little markings on our 13th century Bible indicate? Any Twitter book goobers willing to help some Librarians out? 🥹

“When something is a ritual, for reasons we may struggle to articulate, it simply matters that it is done” — @DrFrancisYoung thecritic.co.uk/Ritual-not-pag…

It's possible the Gospels were used at the earliest consecrations of English kings, in the kingdom of Kent in the early 7th century. The King has requested their presence at the Coronation, tying the ceremony to the most ancient origins of English Christianity
