Should the sale of medieval manuscripts be treated differently from antiquities?
@stephenniem and @incunabula “debate” (via twitter threads) the ethics and law of selling medieval manuscripts like the record-breaking Christie’s Quran.
Enjoying our online events so far?
@Steph_Boonstra will be delivering our next lecture all about the Graeco-Roman Branch of @TheEES, including their survey of sites in the Faiyum - which is probably where these crocodile mummies were photographed.
