could someone help us track this #watermark? I thought the T B at the bottom would make it easy, but nothing so far at https://t.co/8ksyYqOAQQ
maybe because it is a late thing? It's a 19th cent. Persian #manuscript

Happy #MayDay!

The calendar page for May in Leeds, Brotherton Collection MS 1 depicts hawking (or falconry) as the labour of the month and the lovers in embrace as the zodiac sign of Gemini. Explore more here: https://t.co/JZ5jlCcC2R

@RalucaRadulesc1 @UniversityLeeds @LULGalleries @lisafdavis It’s a wonderful manuscript. I’m giving an undergraduate lecture as part of a newly launched module designed around medieval objects. Happy to talk about it anytime! 😊

#throwbackthursday to the first manuscript I’ve ever worked on! The absolutely remarkable Brotherton MS 100 of @UniversityLeeds, currently on display at @LULGalleries. So lucky to be giving a lecture on this 15th c. roll on Monday. We have much to talk about!

@lisafdavis @UniversityLeeds @LULGalleries Your book is in the syllabus! And so is your recent talk with @leoba! 🙃

@suz_paul @UniversityLeeds @LULGalleries Thanks @suz_paul! Never mind me, we need to devise a plan to get *you* here for a lecture!

@Jason_W_Dean @LesEnluminures Thank you! 😍📚

In my last #ManuscriptMonday posting as the Ann Hyde Postdoctoral Researcher from the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, I'm delighted to announce another new acquisition to the medieval manuscript collection of @kulibraries!

[manuscripts &c. @manuscriptsetc]

We purchased MS C318 from @LesEnluminures earlier this year. Full catalog description now available by yours truly:
https://t.co/ANpzSndBSw. Full digitization in the works and will be available in due time at https://t.co/kFjx7UG9mn!

[manuscripts &c. @manuscriptsetc]

For example, the scribe of MS C318 foliates vixxxvi in Roman numerals on this leaf, instead of the more common cxxxvi, to denote 136 because they're calculating 136 as (6x20)+16! Numbers, the best telltale clue of a French production!🇫🇷

@OxUnionLibrary @kulibraries Thanks for asking! The roll contains a reworking of parts of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia. Unfortunately we don’t have much information on its provenance and it’s incomplete but possibly written in England in mid-13th century.

I recently had the occasion to unroll our roll manuscript Pryce MS J1 at Spencer Library! A whopping 3.25 meters--almost 11 feet--at its full glory!

We purchased MS E282 from @LesEnluminures earlier this year. Full catalog description now available by yours truly: https://t.co/rIXmWgonl1. Full digitization of the manuscript in the works!

MS E282 comes from the collection of Virginia Taylor, who acquired the manuscript from her father, Henry Lewis Broomall in around 1900. Listed as her only manuscript in De Ricci's _Census_ under "The Library of Mrs. G. Winship Taylor."

One of the manuscripts I've been working on, from the library of Buxheim Charterhouse. What remains in KSRL, MS E35 are the ghosts of the repurposed parchment text guards--offset onto the insides of both boards, with fragments missing.
