I'm a 16th century manuscript with issues. Be gentle with me!
Views my own.

Brilliant to chat all things @MsHunter242 with our @UofGlasgowASC #visitingresearchfellow art historian A.J.Meyer @_kunstjunge_ (here getting background to the @TheNMCT #conservation project from @keiramckee that made this wonderful manuscript accessible again)

I am just fabulous! Not my words (on this occasion for a change 🤣)

[Caroline Dodds Pennock @carolinepennock]

The codex is just fabulous, the images are incredible, and the text remarkably legible. It was originally three documents, bound together: a narrative of Tlaxcalan history by Camargo, a pictographic history of 156 drawings, and a response to Crown questions about the region. 4/

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

It was great to meet you @carolinepennock !

[Caroline Dodds Pennock @carolinepennock]

For me seeing the codex was another #DisplacedIndigeneity highlight! You can even find the codex on twitter @MsHunter242, where they've tweeted some pics of our visit. @uofglibrary were kind enough to share some the book's history as well as how it's been recently restored. 3/

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

And everyone was clamouring - when will you be digitally available to us, so we can admire you to our heart's content? It will be soon my amigos (is that not so @gj_kemp ?)!

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

I think it is fair to say that everyone was enthralled by me. Thanks @JuliaMcClure_ @GardhamJulie @keiramckee for the intros this morning. No, I haven't given up all my secrets yet. But that is because I want YOU to delve into me more. Calendar wheels anyone?

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

Haven't I been quiet lately! But looks like I am coming out of my box for a workshop tomorrow - can't wait to meet everyone @JuliaMcClure_ Meanwhile @GardhamJulie has updated my catalogue description AT LAST https://t.co/6cLaswB58a

[Julie Gardham @GardhamJulie]

Trying to make sense of William Hunter’s poss acquisition of Tlaxcala Historia @MsHunter242 via Isaac De Pinto, a Dutch merchant - see note (H227) referring to a 1623 Seville edition by Antoine orosco? De la Vega. Not found in Iberian books. Any clues anyone? #Provenance 🧐

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

@StephanieW58982 @TAHG_Glasgow Hi Stephanie - thaks for your interest in me! Yes - all photos will be made available via new digital portal in the coming months & available to researchers

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

V excited that some of my calendar #Pigments are to be analysed for an @TAHG_Glasgow dissertation project over the summer. Some preliminary measuring up going on here & I can't wait to get started!

[UofGlasgowASC @UofGlasgowASC]

Look what has just turned up in our #RareBook BE cataloguing backlog @JuliaMcClure_ @MsHunter242 - a 1901 facsimile of this mega Aztec #Manuscript: come & ask for Sp Coll BE6-a.9 if you can't make it to @NML_Muse Liverpool to see the original https://t.co/OdclCpWeLD

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

Who do I spy with my little eye here? Shout out of thanks to @MMMargarita3 for sending me this special journal issue dedicated to el Lienzo de Tlaxcala #CompareandContrast

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

Look who appears as a case study on the @TheNMCT website! I'm getting to be quite famous, don't you think? You can read all about me here: https://t.co/XzTGhdiAnn #BookConservation #FameAtLast

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

Quite right too @keiramckee - glad to see my old #Binding and other bits & bobs getting the five star treatment #OnlyTheBestforME

[Keira McKee @keiramckee]

Just one last little job for @MsHunter242!

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

So that's why my ears are burning @JuliaMcClure_ @MMMargarita3 ! Can't wait to hear what you are brewing up (besides 🍻)

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

@keiramckee Look who is getting all the attention now 🙄

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

Do you remember when I used to look like this? Our @keiramckee did a recap on my project to my v own special interest group yesterday. Because this is not the end - all sorts of chat about workshops & digital projects & future research. Sounds like I'm going to be busy!!

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

So my @TheNMCT #Conservation project is now officially completed and reported! I'm v pleased with myself but my friends will be glad to know it doesn't mean a totally restored #NewMe - check out the remnants of my past gloriously gauffered & incised fore-edge preserved here

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

My adventures continue! Can you guess where I am this week? Here's our @keiramckee handing me over to @Kotryna_Ula in the Photographic Unit (that's a clue 🧐) #Digitisation #MedievalManuscripts

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

Since you all seem to be obsessed with packaging - how about this swanky new clamshell box our @keiramckee has made for me? #BookConservation #Preservation #MyNewHouse

[MS Hunter 242 @MsHunter242]

@mclees_fiona Only the best for me and my bits @mclees_fiona !
