It’s that time of year: I have a pile of exams to get through and will soon have a dozen third-year papers on Troilus and Criseyde to read (which, of course, I am genuinely looking forward to). As I have decided to wait until tomorrow to make my ‘not-marking’ banana bread, and given that I have realised I have long neglected this silly little site I keep paying for, I reckoned I ought to make some good use of my evening.

During my first-year students’ exam today, as I was working on my paper for Kalamazoo this coming May, my rustling through old electronic files led to a chance rediscovery in my too-cluttered folders. To be honest, I only found this file (or, rather, rememberd I’d made it years ago) because I tried to go the the British Library site to see how their restoration of digitised MSS after the cyber-attack is going. Update: not swift.

In short: please find attached and available to all an edited, archived version of the catalogue for the Simeon manuscript (BL, Add. 22283) that used to accompany the fully digitised manuscript.
