Fantastic example of why cataloguing needs to be an iterative process and why we need to keep revisiting old catalogues and understudied manuscripts. And of course the cherry on top is the Phillipps provenance! #MedievalSky #ManuscriptStudies

🌲1️⃣7️⃣🎁 16ᵗʰ c. Dublin, Trinity College MS 1337 (H.3.18) Many of the ogam-inspired ciphers in the ‘Book of Ogam’ (see yesterday’s entry) are attributed to legendary Irish figures, and thus highlight the links between the later manuscript transmission of ogam and wider Irish literary tradition. ᚐ

I find it incredibly weird how AI is being rammed into our civilisation, despite a general lack of public support, and without it already proving itself that it makes life better. Terrible environmental implications, too. But it's being facilitated no matter what.
