Just found out about this amazing example of
#manuscript
#recycling
. The whole manuscript is made up from the margins of an earlier liturgical manuscript, cut out and rearranged (hence the unusual format), the (mostly) blank margins then used to copy various magical texts in the mid 16th century.

And now for something completely different: the Text Object Research Network at the Radboud Institute for Culture and History had its first date with a manuscript of the academic year. I found myself reading a 17th c. letter by famous Dutch historian/poet/playwright P.C. Hooft. Not my usual fare!

A shame that Eppo Bruins’ disastrous budget cuts to higher education are disproportionally hitting the exact disciplines that study this “irreplaceable heritage”.
