medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Frans,
Goodness, my monitor was issuing little puffs of smoke..
The 13th-CE Dominican MSS use alpha markers. I mentioned alpha markers,
first. Even gave a ref on rather thorough discussions of alpha markers...
I also, as an aside mentioned spacing... I still can't figure out why such
a reaction to the mention of the use of spacing. No such thing as an MS
that doesn't use spacing in some form or another.
So, perhaps you will explain how the use of alpha indexing -- which is
still intended as a mnemonic aid -- in the 13th-century is cutting edge
Medieval technology when alpha mnemonic indexing already shows up late
BCE-early CE?
Just asking,
Rochelle
