Manuscript Studies, Documents Included<\/h2>\n
\"Detail<\/a>

Initial M for “Manus” (“Hand”)<\/p><\/div>\n

In 2015, we began our series of blogposts on \u2018Manuscript Studies\u2019, reporting and illustrating a variety of manuscripts, fragments, and documents.\u00a0 Mostly these materials belong to different owners who allow us to study them long-term and report the research results. We thank them for their generosity and trust.<\/p>\n

Manuscript Studies take time. It’s not the only way, but it is a good way.\u00a0 (Whatever Works, Right?)<\/p>\n

Some of us dedicate our time and effort to it.\u00a0 You know, I have dedicated my life to it.\u00a0 Not sure that it was the right thing (the Memoirs will be right interesting, and time will tell, not done yet), but the quest continues both to challenge and inspire.\u00a0 Plus the responses to the blogposts give further inspiration.<\/p>\n

A list of links for some of the first posts in this series has appeared here:<\/p>\n
