Is anyone putting together a academy panel on saints or Books of Hours? I've got a paper to propose, but it's always easier with a group

A page of tidy greek minuscule from Pal.gr.86, f.2r

in case you wondered when Grimes was going to go full Nazi (twitter.com)

I’m called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture. But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever. What if humans just loved each other? History teaches us that we have all been, and always will...

@mctoasterson @dgerard and it doesn’t even acknowledge the changing boundaries of “white”. The Irish weren’t white in America for decades. Jews weren’t white until post-wwii when “polite antisemitism “ became tainted and had to be discarded in the face of the civil rights movement.

Question for someone who knows far better than I do: How would you describe this hand? It looked minuscule from a distance, but close up the letterforms are way easier to read and more consistent across position...
