I notice that the learned editors of _The Library_ have set my recent article to be downloadable for free, for the time being: https://t.co/JFjcxfw1TV
So, if you are interested in medieval libraries or John Fastolf or the role of Latin, there's some reading awaiting you.

With the greatest pride I present:
For over two years, the #OG_H_AM project, with the expert support of Daniel Bălteanu (Communications Office, @MaynoothUni) has been producing an info video about the ogam script and ogam texts.
It was launched yesterday:

Scribe in 1470 writes 'turn over' and 'turn over the page'. Planning the lay-out is difficult! This is probably the first neat (presentation/promotion?) copy of a Middle Dutch translation of #Boethius De consolatione philosophiae, by Bruges goldsmith Jacob Vilt. @UniUtrechtLib

It doesn't happen every day you're allowed to (or have reason to) handle such a precious medieval binding.

@liber_ray @bodleianlibs @OxMedStud @BkHistOx It's been a hectic week, but the reblog is now up (with link to the original): https://t.co/NIcdhTNuqL

One of the most dangerous enemies of #manuscripts is dust: It provides nesting material for insects and is an incubator for mould spores. The new episode of our video series on #Nepalese manuscripts deals with appropriate cleaning measures.

@liber_ray @bodleianlibs @OxMedStud @BkHistOx Could we reblog your overview post?

[Teaching the Codex @TeachingCodex]

The #teachingcodex blog is back! Committee member @DowsMillerSeb has adapted his presentation from our workshop in May so that we can share it with all of you! All together: 'Don't mention the punctuation!' https://t.co/5tfaLzvLwr

[Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) @CSMC_Hamburg]

Our colleagues arrive in Puducherry @ifp_india and @EFEO_Paris today to start examining historical palm-leaf #manuscripts in our Container Lab. Our local partners have built a superb palm roof over it to protect it from the heat: It's now all set and stays there until late 2025

Now we're hearing from Andrew Honey, book conservator at the @bodleianlibs #teachingcodex

[Teaching the Codex @TeachingCodex]

Are we too close to books to think that they're physical objects as well? #teachingcodex

Next up in the #teachingcodex round table is @MatthewHolford, Tolkien Curator of Medieval Manuscripts

[Teaching the Codex @TeachingCodex]

We teach with real MSS, not facsimiles. Are there occasions when facsimiles or reproductions might expose students to more questions of materiality without such intensive use of resources like library time? #teachingcodex
