"A fragile 13th century manuscript fragment, hidden in plain sight as the binding of a 16th-century archival register, has been discovered in Cambridge and revealed to contain rare medieval stories of Merlin and King Arthur.... the digital results of the project are now available for everyone to explore online via the Cambridge Digital Library."

Did anyone download images of British Library MS Royal 4.B.iv before their cyberattack?
I'm specifically looking for folio 171va which has [the part I need of] Ep. 8.11, with Sidonius Apollinaris' eulogy of his friend Lampridius.
Thanks! Tina Chronopolous wrote about the glosses there in the Edinburgh Companion to Sidonius Apollinaris (p. 657).

#History #medieval #manuscripts #WomenHistoryMonth
When we think of writing in the medieval period we always think of monks scribing. However, a study has found that over 110,000 manuscripts were written by women. The female scribes were identified through their Colophons. These reference themselves by name or by the title of nun or scriptrix, meaning female writer.

If you have #manuscripts in Google Docs, please consider downloading them all to your harddrives. Make lokal backups and also copy them to an external harddrive and flash drives. Write locally with #Scrivener or any other word processor that fits your workflow. „The Cloud“, especially the US cloud, is not a safe place.#bookban #books #censorship #author #writing #writingcommunity #bookstodon
