Wir gehen am Meer im tiefen Sand, Die Schritte schwer und Hand in Hand. Das Meer geht ungeheuer mit, Wir werden kleiner mit jedem Schritt. Wir werden endlich winzig klein Und treten in eine Muschel ein. Hier wollen wir tief wie Perlen ruhn, Und werden stets schöner, wie die Perlen tun. Max Dauthendy

NEW from the Corpus of Early Medieval Latin Medicine... our handlist of the 198(!!!) pre-1000 manuscripts with medical texts not included in the standard catalogues. It's been a productive first phase for the project... but a lot of work still to do! #medievalsky

By far the most beautiful exhibit of late #Medievalsky & #EarlyModern scientific instruments I've ever seen. The manner of display not only allows one to view objects from multiple angles, but it also makes the objects stand out & shine—as they should! More of this! #HistSci #HistTech #HistSTM 🗃️
