All the very best for 2026!
2025 has been an extremely intense year for me, in good and not so good ways. Plenty of things are coming my way in 2026, so I just wish for the strength and energy to be able to give it all my best.

What a great find! As a paleographer, I can't help but observe that if this were French I would have dated the not-yet-Gothic script to the mid-12th century. In Norway, the transition from Romanesque to Gothic happens later, hence the tentative 13th-c. date. www.sciencenorway.no/cultural-his...
Eight pages bound in furry seal skin may be Norway's oldest book
The little book is so rare that the National Library of Norway is bringing in experts from around the world to learn more.
