Day 34 of library closure. #MidweekManuscript. Aside from the tantalising title ‘Treatise on Occult Science’ I’m finding it difficult to find any info on this manuscript but it’s so beautiful I had to share it. If only I could read Armenian.

Day 19 of library closure. To celebrate Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday here’s a flashback to a year ago when I was helping prepare some of his notebooks for exhibition. We used a non-adhesive mounting method using a Melinex window to hold the folio in place.

These two manuscripts will soon be digitised as part of the #DiscoveringSacredTexts project @BL_MadeDigital
