[Blog Post] MSI at last!

[LisaFaginDavis]

My friends, I have some very exciting news for you! Roger Easton, who took the MSI images of selected pages of the VMS back in 2014, has sent me the images and given me permission to make them public. You can find them all, including the raw 16-bit TIFFs, here:

I've written a lengthy blogpost with my own initial thoughts about some of these images:

A few important revelations:

1) On f. 1r, the MSI images make the alphabets in the righthand margin legible. There are THREE columns of alphabets, and Rene and I have identified the hand as Marci's! Much more on this in the blog...

2) Those of you working on the inscriptions on f. 17r and 116v will find these images VERY useful!

3) These images make a very strong proof-of-concept case for imaging the entire manuscript. I'm working on it!

4) Dig in! There is much to see and explore!
