Postponed for two years, the poster is a little crumpled, but not long now until David D’Avray, “Mass Production of Books Before Printing” ⁦@IES_London⁩. #ILovePalaeography

Susan Rankin ends her Lyell lectures with one of the most dramatic “reveals” that I’ve ever seen — she tells us that her scribe R who added the musical notation to ⁦@bodleianlibs⁩ 775 is also the scribe of the Great Domesday Book!!! ⁦@richove⁩ leads the applause!

A book is not just a text. It's a historical artefact.

I have curated an exhibition on the archaeology of the book @cc_irlandais in Paris that runs until the end of June.

The Centre's portal offers an on-line overview of the themes and items on display: https://t.co/ZOYBkgE5LE

Now it’s @ETreharne at #LegOxPal on NR Ker’s “stunningly generous”corpus of writing which opens up the texts and inspires us.

“Go Ælfric!” — Even 10th/11th century Benedictine monks need a little encouragement ;-)

The best definition of The History of the Book is by @respektor:
“This is how I feel right now
Obsolete manuscript
No one reads and no one needs
Pages lost, incomplete
No one knows what it means.”

Breaking news!! 11am (GMT) tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, it’s @sarajcharles talking about “Making Medieval Ink”. I’m really psyched about this! Register here: https://t.co/QcxXbuXcjf

Do get in touch with me if you'd like any advice about applying — it’s my current job, so I know quite a lot about it (!), but I’m not involved beyond that. Please RT

Dates: Monday 21–Wednesday 23 February

[Stewart J. Brookes @Stewart_Brookes]

Yay! My Black Friday purchase from @OxUniPress has arrived: @ETreharne’s *Perceptions of Medieval Manuscripts* — took me a couple of seconds to realise that “The phenomenal book” was a clever subtitle and not a reviewer’s comment 😎
