Now it’s time for our #teachingcodex round table feat ⁦@HLaehnemann⁩ ⁦@olde_bookes⁩ ⁦@MatthewHolford⁩, Andrew Honey, and chaired by our co-founder Tristan Franklinos

#teachingcodex We're lucky at @StJohnsOxLib that fragments were kept when books were rebound and we can use codicological evidence to line things up, as shown in the blog post.

#teachingcodex In most cases, we don't have info on the books of origin of the St John's fragments but in one case, there was a shelf mark. And so I had to explain e.g. what a shelf mark was so readers would understand why I was excited by one!
