Feels very weird to be posting about rare books and manuscripts at the moment, but . . .

First picture of the first post as well! The phrase "Labia mea aperies" was perverted in the litany to the barons of hell during Remigio's confession.

The Boston area is rapidly becoming a center for miniature Books of Hours… and I support this wholeheartedly

Why are you not using gloves? 🤨😳

dominiks.bsky.social•9 hours ago

We're often asked this, so there's lots of info out there. The most important point is that gloves make you lose dexterity. Use dry, clean hands, and handle the objects with care. Don't touch images and text sections, and in general you're fine.
