A few weeks ago, a colleague asked me for help dating a medieval document long considered a forgery. Yes, a forgery—but one with a precise date: the year 1033. And yet no one had ever asked: what if that date actually matches the likely time it was produced? 👇 #MssStudies

The framing of palaeography as a challenge to be overcome rather than a useful skill and a joyful exercise is concerning and devalues both this critical ability and of historical research work generally.

Continuing the #HolyWeek exploration of the Bobbio Missal, BNF lat. 13246 a Merovingian missal-sacramentary-lectionary in a fat little package with very questionable Latin. This week, many of my clergy friends will attend a Chrism Mass. Here are blessings of holy oils from the MS. #liturgy #latin 🧵

Bobbio Missal fol. 285v: single column of light brown text in more-or-less uncials, with a pale red heading and brown initial R ⅔ of the way down the page. The script is a little shaky but mostly clear.

Bobbio Missal fol. 286r: the script from 285v ends ⅓ of the way down the page and then a new, much messier hand picks up with a decorative initial D. The second hand's lines wander and much of the ink has spread or feathered.

A rare example of a 12th C (catalogue calls it, I think a bit earlier) punctus interrogativus, or question mark. The clause starts 2 lines from the bottom, on the right "Petre amas me?" #Vatican Barb.lat.541 f.2v #MedievalSky

a crop of f.2v from Barb.lat.541. There is a single column of late Ottonian/Caroline minuscule with three words underlined in purple. Many words are abbreviated

Seems like we could use a saint. Eldrad, Abbot of Novalesa Abbey, d. c. 844, corresponded with Florus of Lyon about the textual criticism of the Psalter. Florus's letter to Eldrad ended up in the Ripoll Bible, which is an excuse to look at that extraordinary MS. See what I did there? #medievalsky 🧵

Vat lat 5729 1v: the opening of Jerome's Letter to Paulinus (Preface to the Bible), with big initial F full of interlace.

Vat lat 5729, 261v: beginning of the letter of Florus to Eldrad, with initial D in the margin. 3 columns of text.
