Playing my favorite game of fingernail vs scribe with this little ex situ binding fragment from Loras College. 🔍👀 #medievalsky #medievalmss #midwestmss #manuscripts @peripheralmss.bsky.social
What absolutely gorgeous initials in this 15th C Italian Psalter at Loras College @peripheralmss.bsky.social #midwestmss #medieval
This little 15c missal (still at Loras College) is full of cadelle letters inhabited by little men with distinctive chins and noses, all wearing hats. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #medievalsky #medievalmss #midwestmss #manuscripts @peripheralmss.bsky.social

At the Cleveland Public Library today for another @peripheralmss.bsky.social site visit, this time with @sarahloleet.bsky.social !! Already enjoying this incredible space and excited to dig into their tasty manuscripts!! #midwestmss #medievalsky #medievalmss #manuscripts
Thrilled to be at @kzooicms.bsky.social and attending a panel on medieval manuscripts in the midwest organized by the @peripheralmss.bsky.social Peripheral Manuscript Project. Honestly, what a dream start to the conference.
The @peripheralmss.bsky.social project had its first delivery of mss from Saint Meinrad Archabbey as part of our @nehgov.bsky.social HCRR grant. I'll leave it to @lizhebbard.bsky.social & @sarahloleet.bsky.social to provide a more substantive assessment, but ahhhhhh look at some of these beauties.
4. so far I've only found two other manuscripts with this "Felices sancte" antiphon, but their melodies are different from this one! very similar in shape though, as if it got transmuted through transposition in different traditions. what a fun #fragmentfriday chant page!
3. somebody has gone and corrected the psalm tone, reinterpreting what mode they think the antiphon is in; and
2. there is a cute little D clef (in addition to more typical F and C clefs)
A lovely volume!! Saint Meinrad's has such a fantastic collection of medieval manuscripts. So happy to have them as a partner in our project for both our first and second round!
The Peripheral Manuscripts Project@peripheralmss.bsky.social · 7mo agoA teensy, precious book of hours! 😍😍😍 #midwestmss #medievalsky #manuscripts
So excited to see the second round of our project taking this important step!
The Peripheral Manuscripts Project@peripheralmss.bsky.social · 7mo agoDan from Saint Meinrad made our first delivery of manuscripts this morning for this second round of the project! It is always such a fun time to see items again, and to get excited about digitizing and describing them! #midwestmss #medievalsky #manuscripts
