#PhDone, or as we say in Oxford, #DonePhil

I’ve been working on the contents of this manuscript for three years and I’m seeing it for the first time in the flesh today. Suffice to say I’m quite excited

Just had the realisation that the symbol ‘ß’ started life as a ligature between long ‘ſ’ and rounded ‘s’

I’m sure this is basic knowledge for Germanists but as a Gallicist it’s damn cool

I’m back with my people!

And by people of course I mean manuscripts, with apologies to anyone else at the @britishlibrary today 📚

Really excited to be talking about tangled scribes and tangled methods in this session later today, followed by a round table on podcasting with the @digitalmedieval PG committee. Busy day! #IMC2023
