Another day, another wonderful manuscript to share.

The Aberdeen Bestiary, still on dogs. Above, King Garamantes is taken by his enemies. Below, his hounds cut through the lines to bring him home.

A soft goal for the year is to read 50 books, nine months in I'm at 30. With a shift in research field to #medievalstudies #anglosaxons #oldenglish and #oldnorse the books are getting thicker and denser. I may not get to 50, but that's okay.

My shift in research focus to #medievalstudies won't stop my work in #bookbinding or #woodworking it's just an adjustment. I am still working out the scheduling for research and projects. Shop work unexpectedly came to a grinding halt last week but should be resuming in a few days.
