@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.
Everyone on the BASIRA team thanks the RSA for giving us the opportunity to present our workshop on our database of book imagery. Wonderful conference; deep & wise-ranging book history. Kudos!
We start the new year with a gift: a list of 20 open access books on the Middle Ages from https://t.co/5y5HsIwEWy. Lovers and researchers of manuscripts will certainly be interested in the second title, volume 1 of "Touching Parchment" by Kathryn Rudy. https://t.co/HJn0rWH2tJ
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.
