Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.
Breslau Codex (Wrocław, Stadtbibliothek, MS 1302, s. xii ex./xiii in.), f. 82ra, showing tear in the page but only the very edge of the text in the inner gutter.

The witch made him hot chocolate.

"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."

He took a sip.

"They say I can overcome any hardship."

"Mm," said the witch.

"And I can. I do."

The witch said nothing.

"But I shouldn't have to!"

"No."

The witch held the hero as he wept.

"No, you shouldn't."

As each month passes, #IMC2026 gets closer and closer.

We've been looking back at #IMC2025 memories and we started re-reading Daisy Black's 15:1 interview and we thought that you would like to as well: tinyurl.com/DaisyBlack15...

Happy #Halloween! Here’s the start of a spooky tale from a collection of #CardiffUniversity College Magazines handwritten by students throughout the 1880s and currently being transcribed by our intrepid volunteers.
“One day there called at a hotel in a quiet little town a stranger…” #EYAMonsters👻
Image shows detail of a page from Cardiff University College Magazine dated February 1887. The handwritten page - text as follows: A GHOST STORY Some years ago a story was told me which was said to have foundation in fact. It was a ghost story and is a very good haul for those who do not believe in the existence of these shadowy beings. The outlines of the tale only remain to me, and I shall endeavour to fill them in as best I can. One day there called at a hotel in a quiet little town a stranger… Collection held at Cardiff University Special Collections & Archives.
