I'm no Luddite - far from it - but the ways in which in this development has been spoken of seem blind to, or completely uninterested in, what cannot be machine read and searched for: the pounce, sweat marks, soot, or wax; the non-semantic yet semiotically rich substrate that OCR strips away.

At the Dommuseum Hildesheim in 2025 and 2023♥️

Interesting find at the back of this book: two #medieval manuscript fragments cut into shape and sewn together with white cord and two small patches. They form an L-shape, with the end of the longer piece rounded and reinforced. Used as a bookmark? A reading aid? What do you think #skystorians?

Herrlich!

Dear #medievalsky, Recently, I came across an unusual example: illuminated initials were added to the manuscript as separate, cut pieces of parchment that had been pasted in. Beneath these additions, the drafts of the original initials are still visible.

Last day of my research trip♥️
