I'm glad finally to be able to share the link to my finished project eManuSkript: https://emanuskript.vercel.app/.

This is a suite of tools for teaching and learning digital #palaeography and #codicology as applied to #western Latin #manuscripts. The website includes 4 multi-use apps, and 4 supporting information packages, as well as a large searchable bibliography. Our code and text is available on GitHub under a CC BY-NC licence.

A few bugs remain but they will be cleared in the next 2 weeks!

Musicologists love antiphons. But a 16th-century prayerbook suggests the real center of gravity in the Divine Office was the psalms. The evidence? Counting drop caps.

Am preparing my slides for teaching #codicology this Thursday. There's a mathematical formula and everything.

It's a midweek special on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein and we're cutting deeper than usual with a look at R. H. Barlow & the Codex Huitzilopochtli.
