Teamwork makes the dream work: badger edition.
Two badgers pull a third along with a stick, while others excavate and pile earth onto it for removal.

You can test your eyesight on this castle without having to leave lockdown!
Amazingly we have reached MS 50--that's 50 MSS in this one-by-one progress through the medieval MSS @MertonCollege Oxford! As a bonus, someone left a fun little siege drawing in the margin of Dominicus Gundissalinus, De Immortalitate Animae.

From roll to codex! An owner of one part of @MertonCollege MS 44 added a list of chapter headings. They used the blank space left on the final verso of the main text but needed another leaf, so inserted the back of an account roll

Here's a good one for material MS people. Late 15c reader added a second index to @MertonCollege MS 42. But look closely at the pricking and at the back board! What's happening here? @DanielWakelin1 @EleanorMayBaker @TeachingCodex @BodCons

A notice about our 2020 AGM: Rather than having this in March/April, the AGM is being postponed until May or June (TBC). It will be steamed live, which means many more people will be able to participate. Keep your 👀 open for more info via email!

In addition to putting descriptions of MS fragments online medieval.bodleian.ox.ac.uk, @MertonCollege is also gradually re-housing them, thanks to Oxford Conservation Consortium. I admit that the old portfolios seemed to offer more adventure than our lovely new housing #MertonTEI

1/ It's Day 4 of our salvage and cleanup here at the Museum and whilst it's been a difficult few days everyone is pulling together and there is now some order to the chaos! We had between 1-2 ft of blackwater surge through our basement and gained access from lunchtime on Sunday

How many generations of students and staff have bought supplies at @boswellsoxford? Thank you to all the staff for their service - we know that whatever replaces the store, there will be a permanent hole where an Oxford institution used to sit. #goodbye #buylocal
