The Manuscript of the Week is the Book of Uí Mhaine, RIA MS D ii 1. The contents of this 14th C manuscript are described in a marginal note as ‘bolg an tsolathair’ (bag of mixed content/miscellany). Read more & find a link to the @dias-isos.bsky.social digital copy here: www.ria.ie/collections/...

A few weeks ago, a colleague asked me for help dating a medieval document long considered a forgery. Yes, a forgery—but one with a precise date: the year 1033. And yet no one had ever asked: what if that date actually matches the likely time it was produced? 👇 #MssStudies

Do sign up for this course!! If I were in London I wouldn't miss it (if it were online, I'd be the first to sign up!)

The framing of palaeography as a challenge to be overcome rather than a useful skill and a joyful exercise is concerning and devalues both this critical ability and of historical research work generally.

Very much looking forward to this residential workshop on The Parish #Church in #Medieval Smaland (Sweden). I've been invited to share comparative insights from my research on medieval England and Wales, including especially www.thomasway.ac.uk. Lots of interest to @chppc.bsky.social too!

Continuing the #HolyWeek exploration of the Bobbio Missal, BNF lat. 13246 a Merovingian missal-sacramentary-lectionary in a fat little package with very questionable Latin. This week, many of my clergy friends will attend a Chrism Mass. Here are blessings of holy oils from the MS. #liturgy #latin 🧵

A rare example of a 12th C (catalogue calls it, I think a bit earlier) punctus interrogativus, or question mark. The clause starts 2 lines from the bottom, on the right "Petre amas me?" #Vatican Barb.lat.541 f.2v #MedievalSky

🚨 Beneventan alert! 🚨 BAV Barb.lat.421 in @aaronm.bsky.social's list of latest Vatican mss digitized, is in Beneventan script, though not the highly-polished and regular version we're used to. Space for an A initial at the start of the Rule was left unfilled. digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Bar...

Seems like we could use a saint. Eldrad, Abbot of Novalesa Abbey, d. c. 844, corresponded with Florus of Lyon about the textual criticism of the Psalter. Florus's letter to Eldrad ended up in the Ripoll Bible, which is an excuse to look at that extraordinary MS. See what I did there? #medievalsky 🧵
