I am just fabulous! Not my words (on this occasion for a change 🤣)
The codex is just fabulous, the images are incredible, and the text remarkably legible. It was originally three documents, bound together: a narrative of Tlaxcalan history by Camargo, a pictographic history of 156 drawings, and a response to Crown questions about the region. 4/

It was great to meet you @carolinepennock !
For me seeing the codex was another #DisplacedIndigeneity highlight! You can even find the codex on twitter @MsHunter242, where they've tweeted some pics of our visit. @uofglibrary were kind enough to share some the book's history as well as how it's been recently restored. 3/

And everyone was clamouring - when will you be digitally available to us, so we can admire you to our heart's content? It will be soon my amigos (is that not so @gj_kemp ?)!

I think it is fair to say that everyone was enthralled by me. Thanks @JuliaMcClure_ @GardhamJulie @keiramckee for the intros this morning. No, I haven't given up all my secrets yet. But that is because I want YOU to delve into me more. Calendar wheels anyone?

Haven't I been quiet lately! But looks like I am coming out of my box for a workshop tomorrow - can't wait to meet everyone @JuliaMcClure_ Meanwhile @GardhamJulie has updated my catalogue description AT LAST
Trying to make sense of William Hunter’s poss acquisition of Tlaxcala Historia @MsHunter242 via Isaac De Pinto, a Dutch merchant - see note (H227) referring to a 1623 Seville edition by Antoine orosco? De la Vega. Not found in Iberian books. Any clues anyone? #Provenance 🧐

Do you remember when I used to look like this? Our @keiramckee did a recap on my project to my v own special interest group yesterday. Because this is not the end - all sorts of chat about workshops & digital projects & future research. Sounds like I'm going to be busy!!

Since you all seem to be obsessed with packaging - how about this swanky new clamshell box our @keiramckee has made for me? #BookConservation #Preservation #MyNewHouse

Every last bit and scrap of me is being preserved & documented - that's how important I am! Here's some of my "gutter debris" going for pollen analysis by @katerudy1 (well, you never know what this might tell us about where I've been ...) #BookConservation

Before I am let loose into the eager hands of queuing researchers, take note! We don't want the work of our @keiramckee to be undone. I'm still a delicate flower. #BookConservation #CollectionCare #MedievalManuscripts
