What a good start! We have many pages marked as complete in our Transcribathon Google Doc, but there are plenty more to go. Join us for a first-hand look at early modern manuscripts. Here's how: emroc.hypotheses.org #EMROCTranscribes

Great talk by Lynn Botelho -- numbers of aged in early modern period not going up, but medical interest in them was. Even managed to draw links with modern longevity obsessions! #EMROCtranscribes

I have learnt a new word thanks to today's medical recipe book transcribathon: 'impostume,' which means abscess. Also, if any one can help me figure out what the last word is on the third line I would be very appreciative! #EMROCtranscribes #earlymodern

One of my students from @ncstate.bsky.social recreated a recipe to soothe a sore back on p. 26 of @royalcollege.bsky.social MS 188. Great reflections on ingredient challenges and the tacit knowledge recipes of this era often involve. #emroctranscribes

Here are the 2 recipe books from @rcpmuseum.bsky.social & @wellcomecollection.bsky.social we’ve been working with today for #EMROCtranscribes. So brilliant to discuss their material oddities & distinctive styles with everybody through @emrecipesonline.bsky.social this afternoon. Now over to the US!

The UK hosted #EMROCtranscribes is now done for the day but @hnunn.bsky.social is taking over the leadership with a US zoom room. (Details at emroc.hypotheses.org.) Thanks to everyone who has participated so far and to those now joining! It has been fun.

The #EMROCtranscribes Zoom room is now a webinar after a technical difficulty. Not quite the same but you can still join to ask questions!

Wonderful example that shows copying taking place with RCP MS 188 p. 69 -- see the crossed out bits/duplicated lines that suggest having skipped ahead by mistake. Classic transcriber error! #EMROCtranscribes

All these liver recipes in RCP MS 188 have us wondering: how did average people know where their liver was? How helpful would comparative anatomy be? #EMROCtranscribes

Another great #EMROCtranscribes talk by Emma Marshall with a case study of Ralph Verney in the 1690s. Wonderful detail about his ageing body and identity at the end of life, as well as the care provided by the family and household (and how household space changed to support him).

A reminder that you can still visit the exhibition 'The Coming of Age' at @wellcomecollection.bsky.social, which inspired this year's transcribathon theme, until 29 November! #EMROCTranscribes wellcomecollection.org/exhibitions/...
The Coming of Age
Our new exhibition explores experiences and perceptions of ageing, from adolescence to older age, and asks how societies can adapt to ensure everyone ages better.

After Lynn's fantastic deep-dive into the myriad ways we can learn from recipes (inc. understanding our modern obsession with longevity), we're now hearing from Dr Emma Marshall, whose talk explores health and care of the elderly through a domestic lens in the early modern home #EMROCtranscribes

For those in #EMROCtranscribes: if you see this abbreviation that looks like a 4 in the RCP book, 'Take' is the meaning. The eagle-eyed might recognise it as the astrological symbol for Jupiter, who was associated with medicine. (It can also be represented as Rx.)
