Procrastinating like there's no tomorrow

Reading a book of Visigoth laws from the 7th century... the stuff about homicide is just like "If a guy commits a murder he shall be killed" but then there are entire complicated sections about what happens when you find hogs eating acorns in your woodland

An oddly arresting wee doodle from Paris BM 1597A, fol. 105v (2/2 9th C, Saint-Rémi, Reims). Codex transmits a patristic dossier on images connected to the Council of Paris in 825, along with a handbook on Tironian notes.

Other doodle is less arresting (fol. 37v)

@AugustaAtrox @cmrr @AnotherAspirin If you have access to Brepols Library of Latin texts, you'll find it there. Sadly I don't have a pdf of Allen's edition, but if there are specific passages you want to check I can easily send photos of them to you.
