Hello,

Some of the manuscripts of Herman's Miracula have been digitised and are available online. It could be nice to have a page from either of them (or both!) in the article.

  • Bibliothéque Nationale de France, MS Latin 2621 is here (the link points directly to the first page of the Miracula)
  • British Library, MS Cotton Tiberius B. ii is here (the link points directly to the first page of the Miracula)

If I can find some spare time, I will put at least these first pages on Commons, but I will not mind if someone beats me to it. – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 13:38, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. That is a great idea, especially BL Tiberius B. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I have uploaded both pages and added them to the article, feel free to tweak the captions or their position as you see fit. They are not the prettiest manuscripts ever produced, but it's always nice to have an idea of what our primary sources look like. – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 19:20, 29 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks again. They both improve the article. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:11, 29 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
