"Forêts sauvages et impénétrables….. le lourd mastodonte écrasait sous ses pas les fleurs déjà éclose dans les clairières….." ["Wild and impenetrable forests... the heavy mastodon crushes under its feet the flowers already blooming in the clearings..."] from Camille Flammarion's Le monde avant la création de l'homme (1886)

The view from the Duke Humfrey's reading room in The Bodleian Library.

This is one part of The Duke Humfrey's Library which was added by Sir Thomas Bodley (who the Bodleian is now named after) who offered to restore it in 1598. When he was attending Oxford University, the library did not even have a ceiling as it had been stripped and abandoned during the Reformation.

I was curious to see what type of manuscripts were inside the Bodleian so searched through the online catalogue looking for Christine de Pizan (whom I based my BA dissertation on). There are a few manuscripts featuring here and luckily one of the digitised manuscripts is this codex featuring Pizan’s Epistre Othea. Not only that - but here’s a rare pic of her writing at her desk!!!! I’m so thrilled 😭❤️
