A pleasure to write this paper, which stemmed from the excellent panel at @newchaucersociety.bsky.social 2022 - if you like to think about why we do what we do with 'big' manuscript data, the whole collection is worth your time!

I defy you all to find a better PhD supervisor than
Laura, who celebrated the recent release of the article that nearly broke me with a bespoke mug (It’s blue for the BVM, she says 💙)

Belle da Costa Greene sighting in the collections 🤩 She brought a facsimile of the Gospels of Matilda, Countess of Tuscany, and reminded the Archbishop to send a thank you note (which he did!)

What do you all make of this chronogram? We can only get it to come out to 1573, but it should be 1576 😵‍💫 (Or so says the fun acrostic date at the end)

I feel like I ought to do more than just wave hi (hi!) to everyone who’s been here for ages, so instead, please enjoy the most recent photo I took of an interesting thing I found at work - one of the remaining books damaged by a 1940 incendiary bomb (it’s crispy!)
