... Correction: I read further on the British Library site, and they only own some of the 100 manuscripts they listed as part of the YT collection. So the...
Unfortunatly, no, this isn't the manuscript in question. I do have the citation, but not here at work with me. I do appreciate the help, and have decided just...
The British Library now has a whole bunch of stuff digitalized and on-line. Part of this digitalization includes just over 3,000 manuscript images!! There...

HI Everyone, I'm relatively new but I am noticing that most of the papers being used are not looking to period. Where I am we are advised to use bristol board...
