Manuscript wizardry!

Oh, what twenty-first-century wizardry is upon us! What marvels!

The British Library has just announced that it has completed the full digitisation of 175 ​Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. Not only have they included manuscripts that were produced in England but also those that were present during the Anglo-Saxon era. So, blessed ones, you can even see fragments from three fourth-century epistles that likely originated in Africa (see the image above). Marvellous, indeed!

​So please take a look at the list of manuscripts, engage in a spot of virtual browsing (type the name of the manuscript in the search box), and then let me know which manuscript is your favourite. I will reward each blessed one of you who responds with an extra fervent prayer on your behalf.
