Huge news: the Codices Vossiani Latini, for years behind a €8000-a-year paywall, have just been made open access. This is a huge collection of 300 #medieval #manuscripts, many of them from the earliest years of the Middle Ages.

That's great! I spent $40 for a day of access last year -worked til midnight - and had a list for my next day already.

Any idea if Leiden is open to MSI photographing of these ? I'd love to decipher that censored epigram of Ps.-Seneca.

@taoish @medievodons No idea, you’d have to write to them and ask. I don’t know if they even have MSI equipment.

@litteracarolina @medievodons Be that as it may, FUCK BRILL. They are evil profiteers, and have been since I was a student in the late eighties, early nineties.

@litteracarolina @medievodons I studied a lot of what's called "small languages" these days like Chinese, Classical Chinese, Tibetan, Classical Tibetan, Pali, Sanskrit, Tocharian, Nepali, pretty much all IE languages and many more -- and at every turn, I encountered Brill and a book I could not buy and study.
