Maria Vittoria Comacchi @vitticomacchi.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Scholars working in #manuscriptstudies, I need some help with an annotation. Is the one faded a cryptographic? Any suggestions? The annotation is on the verso leaf of the last flyleaf of a mid-14th C codex (an exemplar of William of Ockham’s Expositio in libros Physicorum copied by an Italian hand) 100
Maria Vittoria Comacchi @vitticomacchi.bsky.social · 22/12/2025I am working on a Medieval (late 13th C.) Latin translation of Ibn Rushd. I found this annotation in Hebrew on the last folium. Can someone help me with this? Might it be a Latin hand writing in Hebrew? Thanks 🙏 393
Maria Vittoria Comacchi @vitticomacchi.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Someone who can help me with this annotation? It opens a Medieval manuscript containing a Latin translation from Arabic (the marginalia was written when the binding was restored). Many thanks! 320

Maria Vittoria Comacchi @vitticomacchi.bsky.social · 21/11/2024#skystorians any suggestions for someone who’s outside the French academy (I was a visiting student in Paris during my PhD and one of my advisors is French) and wants to apply for the MCF habilitation (section 17 Philosophy and 22 Modern History)? Is an interdisciplinary research profile well seen? 000
