Very grateful to announce the publication —after much consultation, an intervening conference, a museum exhibition, and months of editorial hurdles— of our paper on a fascinating Gulbenkian #Arabic #manuscript ecommons.aku.edu/uk_ismc_seri... @agakhanuniversity.bsky.social @cgf-uk.bsky.social

Anthology from Aristotle's zoological works in the Latin translation by Michael Scot. Not identical with the one in Vat. lat. 3010, nor with any other florilegium that I have seen. (@ubleipzig.bsky.social, MS 1291) nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:b...

Next in our #SIMSseries on LJS 26, a 13th century astronomical and mathematical manuscript written in Italy:: How do scribes deal with a hole in the parchment? This 13th century scribe outlined the hole in red on one side, and simply wrote around it. 🔗: https://bit.ly/41EAKFa

Did you sneeze once or twice right after waking up today? Curious to know whether a diviner in the Middle Ages would have told you it would be a great day or a terrifying one? Listen to this talk I had the pleasure of giving for @a-beauchamp-fc.bsky.social
