were pricked through the layers of skin for evenness then ruled sometimes with a furrow cut into the parchment as guide benedictines were meat eaters so parchment was readily available to them cistercians were vegetarians and until they started keeping sheep for wool on their land had little access to parchment by the tudor period in england however thomas more in utopia was saying the sheep are eating the people so many villagers being forced off the land and into the cities their former living space used to graze sheep instead earlier documents had been prepared on rolls or rotuli of papyrus such paper being re introduced by the arabs and now used in bound books st birgitta s own handwriting in swedish of the revelationes survives on sheets of sienese paper on scraps sewn

as parchment or vellum ones but are useful in dating a text s production because of their watermarks trade marks used by paper makers and placed in the wires on which the sheets were placed to allow the water to drain from them these indentations being more transparent than the rest of the sheet we can date julian of norwich s paris manuscript to the elizabethan period and as written on paper made in flanders thus by brigittine nuns in exile there not by the later foundation of english benedictine nuns because of the watermarks in the manuscript s paper folios with the printing press and

libraries merican scholars using continental libraries are well advised to come with a letter signed and sealed by their chancellor presenting their academic credentials as visiting american scholars chancellors enjoy exercising this privilege british libraries prefer instead a letter of introduction from a well known scholar in the field a senior colleague also have photocopies of these documents to give to the librarians requesting them in mediterranean countries books are usually not given out during siesta hours though one may be able to stay and read during that time typically one exchanges one s passport for the book or manuscript exchanging these back again on completion the vatican library does this with the exchange of the key for one s locker having the language of the host country as well as that of the manuscripts one studies is most useful it is also helpful to write ahead to the libraries where one knows one will do research this is required for instance in brussels a eurailpass is of the greatest assistance in spontaneously following leads in manuscripts plan to arrive at a city in the morning rather than the evening and book a place to stay at the tourist office in the railroad station on that arrival if one is clergy or religious there is the possibility of a monastic house s hospitality if so and you are studying in a monastery library ask there on arrival in the presence of medieval manuscripts one only makes notes in pencil never pen and exercises care not to touch the pages any more than is necessary bring your own small pencil sharpener as many libraries lack these i put sharpened pencils pencil sharpener one pen for official documents a tape measure an eraser a small magnifying glass lists of shelf marks of manuscripts library cards and my passport altogether in one small bag taking care to remember to bring these and paper with me into the libraries remember to have all manuscript shelf marks written out and at hand other possessions one leaves outside in lockers don t forget glasses which they also had in the later middle ages on book binding see book binding in florence the codex amiatinus facsimile

philological information individually or on listservs like medtextl they can work in teams examining text and digitized color photographs shared as e mail attachments or as files from ftp directories in jpeg gif and other image formats on web pages debating the significance of a serrif or evidence of a trimmed manuscript page the distance separating team members is little relevant in addition textual scholars can produce critical editions on the web which would not be given due consideration by traditional publishers not because of quality or of methodological soundness but simply because of the money involved in producing critical editions that are fully appropriate for a variety of readers and which take advantage of the enormous amount of relevant information available in our time these editions will certainly enhance the reader s ability to judge the validity of an editor s choice of manuscripts or readings to promote the increasingly possible concept of shared knowledge in
