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.

Looking forward to the upcoming Lodz conference on medieval theories of sense perception! I'll present a joint paper with Aurora Panzica on 'Fifteenth-century Discussions on Light and Its Role in Visual Perception in the Cracow Commentaries on De anima and Perspectiva communis'.

Something special at Leeds: the surprise discovery of a Wyclif manuscript at Merton College, where he was a grad student in the 1350s! Gigi Campi can’t make it, so the other talks will be less compressed. Jordan Lavender’s will be about his discovery; mine will be more general. #IMC2025 #medievalSky
