The Alphabet, Ligatures, and Abbreviations

[29pixie]

Spent most of yesterday working on my paleography project. Must say it's taking far longer than I thought... though I'm probably putting far more work into it than I need to. Here's hoping that's true, cause as a grad student I must show up the few undergrads! I'm proud of myself for picking a challenging and interesting manuscript, but also one that has TONS of information in the front. Ah Moore Bede, thank you for being perfect for this project... The other day I was thinking that I wished I had gotten more out of this class, but then this project came along, and now I'm getting tons.

Here I am, the last one working late in the Vatican Film Library.

And, the first (legible) folio of my manuscript!

Now I am procrastinating on the very last review I have to write this semester. I want to finish that quickly! (But I also don't want to do it! Boo last review.)

Danielle is moving out today. :-(
I hope all goes well with all that this afternoon.
