@laurajcleaver.bsky.socialReposted by @liber-ray.bsky.socialA treat to visit @ria.ie and @liber-ray.bsky.social this morning to see some of their medieval manuscripts and think about the history of Irish collections.
@liber-ray.bsky.socialA fantastic evening helping to launch the new @marshslibrary.bsky.social medieval manuscript exhibition and catalogue by @laurajcleaver.bsky.social and crew! 📜🎉
@liber-ray.bsky.socialIt depends on the scribal circle, Gaelic manuscripts used quite low quality parchment because the text was more important than the materials but continental-style manuscripts are much higher quality! We do have great butter, so skins are maybe soft too, ha! 🐄
@liber-ray.bsky.socialAnn Buckley has done great work in this area, this is her bibliography! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Buc...
@liber-ray.bsky.socialMarsh’s Library’s new manuscript catalogue by @laurajcleaver.bsky.social and gang also has cool examples of Irish-origin service books! 🤗☘️
@liber-ray.bsky.socialHurray! Irish saints sometimes pop up in Sarum calendars with goofy Anglicised spellings! 😂
@liber-ray.bsky.socialCould this be St Scire (Skyria), the Irish female saint?
