Greetings!

    I'm planning to be at Coronation (barring unforeseen things).
    I'd also love to be on the charter as well.

    So far my only book projects have been small simple booklets I gave away
as presents last year (other than doing scrolls for my barony of the Signet,
that is).

   Ohhhh, I must brag that hidden away in one of my alumni universities was
a liturgical manuscript from 1554, written in Latin, called the Salzinnes
Antiphonal. It was done by women in an Abbey in Bruges.
   It was mis-catalogued and was hidden until  Judy Dietz, Associate Curator
of Historical European Art at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, found it.

   Wow! What an awesome example of a manuscript! Sadly the lecture only had
images printed and a power point lecture, but wow!

   There were styles of decoration that I've never seen before and that
amazing green that seems to appear often with Flemmish stuff.

   The book has been scanned, but there is no information on when that will
be available to the public. The book itself is currently being restored.

  Just thought I'd share as it had some very cool items in it!

Here is the web link that shows the one photo there is online of it:
