@bodleian.ox.ac.uk MS. Addit. B. 1. The manuscript has been described and edited by Frank Klaassen in his book "Making Magic in Elizabethan England" (he calls it the "Antiphoner Notebook") doi.org/10.5325/j.ct...

We have a spreadsheet with all the dimensions (that we have currently recorded in the catalogue) of Bodleian manuscripts - more info github.com/digital-Scho... - at some point in the next few weeks (hopefully) I'll do a series of posts introducing this more fully

I'm not sure that the third chapter of Bozzolo and Ornato, Pour une histoire du livre manuscrit, on the dimensions of the page in French manuscripts, has been surpassed as a survey.

Trying quince ratafia this year. Basically grated quince and sugar left to infuse in rum. What could go wrong?
