The other side of the page of Latin, also annotated in tiny handwriting, discoloured around the edges by the glue that was used to stick it to the wooden board used for binding.
Medievalists and early modernists ahoy! π¨
Our librarians are surveying the oldest books in the Library Special Collections and have found an intriguing endpaper bound into this 1516 edition of the Decretum Gratiani.
Do YOU recognise this heavily abbreviated Latin scrap?
This is so wonderful!

I have a childhood memory of going there and that there were all these jugs of Thomas Becketβs blood in the place of his martyrdom.
I appear to have made this up out of whole cloth.
I remember my happy days living and touring in Britian. I also enjoyed trips to Scochtland.

Excruciating library conversation in the rear-view mirror. Many thoughts but I want to get a bit further to see how it all connects in my head.
