About this. I've just received an email from a friend and associate of Maartje Draak saying Maartje would have been 'highly satisfied' with this article, and I'm, just, I can't even, what. This is probably the best peer review I'll ever get in my life.

My eyes are still watering from trying to read a lot of incredibly faded ink, but this is compensated by the immense joy it was to work with @helsinhashtags.bsky.social, #CatherineAlbersMorris and #GregoryHeyworth! We retrieved text, and discovered two new marginalia in the process 😍

I am so excited that this is live! @naoicea.bsky.social ’s article for which Dr. Katie Albers-Morris and I did the image processing and tech write up for is now live! Nike did an incredible pain-staking job with the translation and transcription. I am in awe of the effort she put into this edition.

Excellent work by all involved!

A publication out of Utrecht fresh in @sfennica.bsky.social !
