Looking at #Arabic#manuscripts with my students today. This is a stunning frontispiece from @subugoe Cod MS arab. 190, containing the Kitāb al-wāfīya fi šarḥ al-kāfīya from 1478, collated with the author’s own copy. @historikerinnen@medievodons@histodons#palaeography
Please share the information about the below as widely as you can - this is a #palaeography course for the general public, which is super rare!
"Join Dr Manuel Muñoz in a one-day overview of Iberian late-medieval books at the London International Palaeography School. We will explore the evolution of book scripts between the 13th and the 15th centuries, and we will discover what makes late-medieval Iberian #manuscripts unique."
Exciting news! @erc has awarded an #ERCAdG worth €2.5m to Insular #Manuscripts in the Age of Charlemagne. Our team includes @litteracarolina.mastodon.online & partners in libraries & universities across Europe, including the ERC Beasts2Craft project, Prof. Daniel Bradley, Dr. Charlotte Denoël at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Dr. Lieve Watteeuw, @BodleianLibraries, and the British Library.
Can anyone recommend some things to read about how people (in any culture) used to find information among manuscript miscellanies when those miscellanies didn’t have tables of contents? Anything in English, French, #Armenian, or Turkish would work. @histodons@medievodons@librarians#manuscripts
🔎 Viel mehr als nur Scans: Impulsvorträge und Podiumsdiskussion zu im Rahmen eines #DFG-Projekts digitalisierten Greifswalder #Handschriften und der Rolle des #Handschriftenportal am 18. April, um 18:00 Uhr, im Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg in Greifswald.
Lists like these really drive it home how many #medieval#manuscripts have been lost over time - nearly 1,500 manuscript were destroyed at the National Library of Warsaw alone in WW2.
We’re very excited about this new addition to our collection: a 1882 book from a jacquard weaving course in Lyon, France. As a manuscript, it’s all hand drawn and hand lettered, and it has loom punch cards and fabric samples tipped in. It also has hundreds of intricate diagrams and instructions for this semi-automated form of weaving.

Les funérailles d'Anne de Bretagne, toujours un grand succès auprès des étudiant-es ! Plein de questions (embaumement, division du corps, etc.) alors que moi, je suis là pour parler des décors et des manuscrits enluminés !
Today my students and I are on our way to beautiful #Vercelli and #Verona for our annual week-long spring school! We’re working with some amazing #medieval#manuscripts there (including the Vercelli Book!), but also with modern technologies like #multispectral imaging and endoscopy. I’ll try to post images of some of our activities using #Vercelli2024. But first - 11 hours on the train…
