This scriptorium offers plaques of Mediaeval manuscripts, famous for their content or for their beauty or both, with a reproduction of a page and very basic info on the manuscript. They are few for the moment, but the work will go on for the whole period of Yule 2006 (and beyond) and we accept commissions. Everybody on AW can get one! Each plaque will have its own code for linking back to the Winchester scriptorium. You can find a more detailed description and links in the New Acquisitions catalogue.
