Morning affirmations. Is this the most miserable manuscript I've ever worked on? Maybe. Excited to present my new research from the @stemma.bsky.social project at the British and Irish Spenser Seminar today
Love some poetic waste paper ☕ Marginal note recorded in Summary Catalogue description of Rawl. poet. 25 @stemma.bsky.social @bodleian.ox.ac.uk 'The Originall Copy is by mee. Given me by my Brother Mr John Woodford who bought it among other broken books to putt up Coffee pouder, as I remember.'
HELP WANTED!! @stemma.bsky.social I am working on Folger MS V.b.370, a self-proclaimed 'Rich Cabinet'. The compiler clearly loved giving their MSS ostentatious titles, my favourite being 'My Merchant Ship Laden with Variety of Wares'. Ever come across these MSS titles below? Please get in touch 1/3
Casually using the @stemma.bsky.social dataset as an Early Modern RIP.ie Several epitaphs today, including this one: 'On Mr John Davnant Who died on Thursday, Aprill the 18 1622 being thee Mayor of Oxford. Dedicated to the Worthlesse and Witlesse Townsmen' [Folger MS V.a. 103, f. 22r] #folgerfinds
I *could* go home for the evening, but it's much more fun to stay in my office and confirm that there is, in fact, a digitised image of this gem. (Houghton MS Eng 686, ff. 33v–34r)

Monumental brass showing the Virgin Mary in the Annunciation, made in 1485. Found in a cellar in Silver St #Cambridge, 1804. (British Museum) And we get to see her book case too. Today 25 Mar, is the Feast of the Annunciation.
