The British Library’s Medieval and Earlier Manuscripts blog publicises their amazing collection of manuscripts. Regular postings tell the stories of the outstanding items featured in the exhibition Royal Manuscripts: The Genius of Illumination (which ran from 11 November 2011-13 March 2012). You can see updates here on the digitisation of the British Library’s Greek and medieval scientific manuscripts, as well as other news and projects. Recent posts have included the discovery of a long-lost medieval cookbook, containing recipes for hedgehogs, blackbirds and unicorns!
