New beginnings! @StephanieLahey had a wonderful tweet with beautiful Beginnings from insular gospel books. But Dáibhí Ó Cróinín reminded us at #MSSinASK *oldest* insular gospel book messed up its beginning, writing INITI-ti-um instead of just INITium

Some old beginnings for a new year: “In principio …” (In the beginning …).
1. Wearmouth-Jarrow, early 700s
2. Ireland / St. Gallen by Irish scribes, c.750
3. St. Gallen (?) by an Irish scribe, 700s
4. Lindisfarne, c.700
The Codex Amiatinus was written on predominantly parchment made from goats, not calves https://t.co/yiM6BAUBnE @cmcurran21 #MSSinASK #BLAngloSaxons
@cmcurran21 live-tweeted the 'Manuscripts in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms Conference' @britishlibrary last week, so we asked her to sum up what was said there for @HistoryExtra. Fascinating reading for #MSSinASK: https://t.co/qVSPhx6tOZ
Let me never stop shouting about how amazing the junior scholars of #medievaltwitter paleography manuscript studies early medieval history & literature. Colleen Curran steps up again providing a brilliant summary of #MSSinASK #BLAngloSaxons
I learned of Christina Duffy’s work at the #MSSinASK conference. She’s working on multi-spectral imaging for the British Library. Truly amazing! I may retweet everything she posts.
1. Let's start with the most recent, shall we?
I had quite literally the experience of a lifetime at the #MSSinASK conference. Never again will these manuscripts and academics be in the same place. I learned so much, met incredible people, and I'm proud of myself for going.
I’m still on a post-#MSSinASK come down, but I have to say that it was a pleasure and a privilege to meet friends old and new and hear an incredible line up of speakers present their research. I’m still smiling from the joyful, celebratory atmosphere 💖🥰
#ParkerAdvent2018 Day 17: Ff Tessa Webber’s #MSSinASK paper on lector & ‘lectio’ re #medieval #liturgical practice, here in the #Dover #Bible (#CCCC3) we see the opening of Isaiah marked up as “lectio 1”, ‘first reading’ as required on #ChristmasDay!
#Advent #medievaltwitter
Two days later and I’m still thinking about how great the @BLMedieval #MSSinASK conference was. Thanks to all the organisers for such a great event!
still buzzing from #MSSinASK / #BLAngloSaxons. Must say how utterly amazing the ECR day 3 was. The future of our field is very bright indeed. Every single paper was legit brilliant. Extra special shoutouts to @wyrdwritere @bbeckyL & @EEJackson999 who ran the conf & presented+

99% sure I could not have come home from #MSSinASK to a more appropriate package. (Shoutout to @MxComan for alerting me to the existence of these beauties from the @AshmoleanMuseum!)
wow three days of non-stop #MSSinASK ! Amazing! Incredible! My brain is still swimming. What should I do on my last day in London?
don't say it

brain: go see #BLAngloSaxons again
Cheers to everyone who participated in #MSSinASK: speakers, chairs, staff, attendees, the generous donors, the tireless @bbeckyL, @CCockburn2, @minuscule_eth, @EEJackson999, @For_the_Wynn and others, + above all masterminds @ClaireBreay + Jo Story

For the next 40 years early medievalists will ask each other: “where were you when you discovered Codex Amiatinus was made of goat skins?” #MSSinASK
Many thanks to everyone who spoke, chaired sessions and attended our #MSSinASK conference, and esp to all my @BLMedieval colleagues for their work on the conference and the #BLAngloSaxons exhibition.
Hwaet! Go see the very special Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms exhibition @britishlibrary. Great papers over the last few days that complimented and enhanced it perfectly. #MSSinASK #BLAngloSaxons @BLMedieval
#MSSinASK @scfthomson #BLAngloSaxons what a great and apt way to end the conference with exuberant discussion of manuscripts as community projects, touching and touched across centuries; the communal is the sacred
#MSSinASK Colleen Curran @cmcurran21 on 960 and All That (love!) challenging our automatic associations bet. English caroline minuscule with the Benedictine reform, discovering an earlier script that defines categories from Brussels bibliothèque royale MS 8558-63 (script -1!)
#MSSinASK Eleanor Jackson on the c. 1030 Abingdon assumption of Mary Cambridge Kk. 3.21 as both labyrinth diagram and carmina figurata for meditative reading & journey to heaven
