I like when we get to ask "what year does this guy think it is?"
This scribe finished this book on February 12, 1436. But he was on Cyprus, which used the Venetian calendar, where the new year started on March 1. So if we convert to a year starting on January 1, it was actually 1437.

Hmm, maybe? Here's the manuscript (this scribe sometimes draws a line or an arch to represent a missing E, as in "moiñs" here)

I got several more Chuck III coins. I'm not sure why I find this so fascinating (a weird old tradition...but different??)

Finished the Beatles For Sale puzzle I got for my birthday. 1000 pieces, most of which seemed to be the white/yellowish background or the black coat pieces or their hair. The faces were a bit easier. Some pieces are only microscopically different so I put a bunch of them in the wrong spot at first
