Tracing the material memory of palm-leaf manuscripts: Using synchrotron X-ray analysis, researchers from the CSMC and #DESY identified botanical genus, leaf processing, and possible geographical provenance. The study just came out in ‘npj heritage science’. 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s40...

Laura Gallardo positions a palm-leaf manuscript for X-ray analysis at beamline P62 at DESY.

This morning Elias and I were playing with the Anagnostes tool to see how well it transcribes one of our papyri fragment. Here is a sample where it misinterpreted an iota with diacritics (not the right word, but dots as indicators) as an incomplete tau. Still, fascinating stuff!

It's interesting because there's a second woodcut in the same book that's essentially the same figures in the same layout, but drawn differently. Any idea why they picked one over the other??

In the famous Outlander printshop scene Jamie correctly uses inkballs on the press, but BEHIND him you can see a (modern) inking stone with the perfect rectangles made by modern rollers. 18th c. printers would have just applied ink from the tiny bench on the press itself.

1) wtf to that clerk 2) It came up in convo over the summer that lots of younger Gen X men were reading Lonesome Dove. I have a theory about how that's the thing middle-age men obsess over instead of WW2 now.

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

Mine notes that I "read poetry extensively" and "likely lives near a car wash" (we figured that was from a silly conversation that Alexa heard). (No we do not live near a car wash.)

I really feel like we are actively encouraged to be “fun” and student-focused and that anything scholarly is discouraged. Yes I hate it and have gotten into shenanigans why do you ask!
