Coming out of my BlueSky hibernation to share this project I worked on for @bibsoc.bsky.social. We have even more videos on the horizon, so you can watch these and then come back for more more more Caxton!

A pleasure to write this paper, which stemmed from the excellent panel at @newchaucersociety.bsky.social 2022 - if you like to think about why we do what we do with 'big' manuscript data, the whole collection is worth your time!

Spot the surprise Pepys, which made me exclaim in an empty stack, ‘oooh, Pepys!’

I defy you all to find a better PhD supervisor than Laura, who celebrated the recent release of the article that nearly broke me with a bespoke mug (It’s blue for the BVM, she says 💙)

We’re here in the real world now! Follow for the illustrated liturgical calendar, stay for the woodcuts of porcupines 👀

Belle da Costa Greene sighting in the collections 🤩 She brought a facsimile of the Gospels of Matilda, Countess of Tuscany, and reminded the Archbishop to send a thank you note (which he did!)

Miss Costa Greene or Pierpont Morgan’s librarian caused this to be sent here with a request that an acknowledgement might be sent to Mr. Morgan

The acknowledgement, sent to Mr Morgan on 19 May 1920.

What do you all make of this chronogram? We can only get it to come out to 1573, but it should be 1576 😵‍💫 (Or so says the fun acrostic date at the end)

I feel like I ought to do more than just wave hi (hi!) to everyone who’s been here for ages, so instead, please enjoy the most recent photo I took of an interesting thing I found at work - one of the remaining books damaged by a 1940 incendiary bomb (it’s crispy!)

A burnt book, lying on a foam support. The edges are black like charcoal and the leather is so burnt it is separating from the top board.
