Sara ja minä kirjoitimme luvun tähän juuri avoimesti julkaistuun tekstikäsityksiä käsittelevään kirjaan. Pohdimme luvussa keskiajan ja uuden ajan alun tieteellisiin teksteihin liittyviä käsityksiä. #TiTaRa @KoneenSaatio trepo.tuni.fi/handle/10024/1…

Does someone know what these are? Many of the MSS letters now in BL Add MS 15970 have these identical slits at the top of the page. Some of the MSS are dated years apart, so it's not from sending. I'm guessing they're an artefact from filing. But does someone here know for sure?
