Somehow, an 8th-c. English liturgical manuscript ended up in Mount Sinai (where it was palimpsested and written over by a Christian Arabic scribe). For more info: Michelle Brown, austriaca.at/0xc1aa5572%2...
Enhanced image of palimpsested page, original writing in red; a large illuminated 'E' can be seen in bottom right quadrant.

Happy 191st birthday to the Kalavala, national epic of Finland, compiled into a single more or less coherent narrative from a vast range of traditional or oral folktales, myths and songs by scholar Elias Lönnrot and first published #onthisday in 1835.

Just a great quote from Barbara Graziosi’s talk.
On holiday when one feels no obligation to be busy, and the relaxed mind summons up and integrates things long forgotten. The period after Christmas is particularly productive, when everything is shut and one is slouched in an armchair half asleep. The Muse of Textual Conjecture (..) only visits those who have worked, but she does not visit us when we are actually working.. Housman 1921
