Sadly not the one I need 🥲

Has anyone that’s been to the BL recently had any issues with getting registered? I need to see the prayer book of Alfonso V of Aragon and have not yet been to the BL in person.
guys I was able to access a British Library digitized manuscript today for the first time in years. Check it out. www.bl.uk/collection/d...

click on the pdf [save that!] and use its hyperlinks!

Modernists: I’m looking to find more secondary scholarship about the bombing of southern Italy—particularly Naples—in 1943/1944 to get a better appreciation of how those events shaped cultural heritage (archives lost, art destroyed, etc). Any ideas?
