The DS Catalog is constantly growing with new data and expanded holdings from global manuscript traditions.
Check out this visualization of languages of manuscript texts in DS member collections. Although Latin predominates, many other linguistic traditions are represented.

This week’s #ManuscriptMonday features a leaf from an Italian antiphonal, likely produced during the second half of the fifteenth century and bearing antiphons and responsory verse. This leaf is a palimpsest, containing earlier music and text perpendicular to existing text. #medievalsky #medievalmss

A brief moment of quiet last Friday before our "Manuscripts by Candlelight" event in @stanfordulibraries.bsky.social (all candles electric, of course, no open flames near our books) - the reflection of warm light on gold a perfect way to end last week. (thanks @etreharne.bsky.social for co-hosting!)
