For #ManuscriptMonday: 5 reasons why we should pay attention to book curses! Last week, I have posted some book curses from manuscripts from St Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai. I would like to collect more of this material here in the future. But first a 🧵 on what they can tell us. 1/8
Peter Tarras@petertarras.bsky.social · 2y agoIt's #ManuscriptMonday, time to start a 🧵 with Arabic book curses in manuscripts from St Catherine's Monastery, Sinai. The first is from Sin. gr. 742, 1r: 'Endowment to the monastery of Mt Sinai. Anyone who somehow takes it away from there is excommunicated and separated from the glory of God.'
