Filed under: I've read a paleography book once, so I can read a manuscript, right?
Oh, great, en.wikisource.org/wiki/Beowulf… has folio numbers, so I can look for the folio with the word I want to read on bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?… and it's going to be easy, right?
* is not able to find anything remotely resembling that text on the page.
Wait, what's that number in pencil on the upper right corner? and why there are two, one of which has been struck?
spoiler: the right page was bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?…

Un giorno sull'internet qualcuno consigliava un manuale universitario sull'argomento dicendo che era leggibile anche per profani, l'ho preso e me lo sono letto.

(cioé, l'unica obiezione valida poteva essere “lo si trova online”, ma non è la stessa cosa. a meno che gli anta fossero qualche anno fa, quando era magari più difficile).

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •And of course, the links to the manuscript were supposed to be bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?… and bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?…
