One of our most frequently viewed DS records is for Boston Public Library, MS f Med.101. This ms containing Christine de Pisan's Le livre des trois Vertus was copied in 1405, and is generally considered to be "the truest copy of the text, possibly created under the direction of the author herself."

Schatzi looks unhappy in this picture, but she actually keeps going out for about 20 minutes, coming in for about an hour nap. She’s torn between loving the snow and the fact that I’m home to hang out.
