Perhaps the most sensational Dunhuang manuscript copies of the Diamond Sutra are those handcopied by an old man. In 906, the 83-year-old man made 7 copies, two of which are shown here. He claimed that he pricked himself to draw blood, which he mixed with ink in copying the sutra.

I became an ICU nurse at the end of July in 2020, during one of the first peaks of covid when it was all still so new. I learned how to be a nurse behind a respirator and a yellow gown, amidst the constant beeping and hissing of ventilators that couldn't support failing lungs.

This #earlyprintedbook edition of Discursus ad Naturalia Principia (1570[?]) is bound in vellum from a #manuscript of liturgical music 🎵

The holes in the front & back boards are the remains of chain plates, which would have attached the volume to the bookcases in a library.

Is there an expert of Brazilian palaeography who knows what script this is? It was written pre-1591.

Existe algum especialista em paleografia luso-brasileira que saiba que caligrafia/letra é essa? Foi escrito antes de 1591.
