Now continuing the transcription of 3 more key Umda manuscripts. By comparing them I'm able to draw up a flowchart or family tree of the original text's (d)evolution and where surviving witnesses fall on that tree. There are plenty of clues and I'm not sure yet where I'll write them up – it's so niche, but I know some folks are interested…

Eleventh-century author being withering about people who think they can cut a reed pen without proper instruction or understanding the "architecture of calligraphy", resulting in an unsuitable pen, is the kind of vibe I'm totally here for. #medievalmanuscripts

That day when I was looking through a 14th-century romance.
First impression: That's not a very good stag, is it...
Closer look: OMG LOOOOOL

Another rescued 🧵, from Oct '24. I can't alt-text all the images, but they tend to be already described in the text. (Masto isn't good with threads but I don't see how else to share these)
A thread for a handful of #medievalmanuscripts where structural and #binding elements caught my eye.
This is Bodleian MS Ashmole 5. It has a limp vellum binding with the cover sown to the outer leaves, but the real exciting thing about it is the custom-made horn spine to which the quires are bound 😍

Turning my thoughts away from the bad-to-worse politics in this country and worldwide, to once again focus on transcribing the various witnesses of an 11th-century inkmaking manual (as I'm confirmed to start work on an edition/translation come September) – and it's amazing the peace I feel copying detailed instructions for making a gold burnisher…

Among my hoard of images from #medievalmanuscripts, I’ve gathered calendar miniatures to write a piece about a lovely, lost pictorial tradition. Just published on #Caravanserai!
