Before ‘cut & paste’ and Tipp-Ex, scribes found novel ways to correct their mistakes and omissions. Here a scribe points to the place where the omitted line (bottom of the page) is meant to go - 1300, leaf from a Book of Hours, Walters Art Museum, W.103. 33v

Patrick loved the new 12 cylinder model, but sadly the cost to run it meant he lost his shirt trying to keep it on the road - c. 1260, British Library, Add. 62925, f. 83r

Explosive Cats Imagined in a Strange, 16th Century Military Manual.
Paw prints and feline urine stains on a medieval scribe’s manuscript, perhaps they weren’t entirely out of the ordinary in the 15th century. But cats strapped to mini-powder kegs, bounding off to burn down a town — now that’s pretty unusual.

I've been trying to access the University of Bologna's FISCUS database looking for materials from the the Venice state archives, but the url fiscus.unibo.it keeps throwing a 503 down for maintenance error. Does anyone know if this is a temporary issue, or is it just gone for good?
