When we think of writing in the medieval period we always think of monks scribing. However, a study has found that over 110,000 manuscripts were written by women. The female scribes were identified through their Colophons. These reference themselves by name or by the title of nun or scriptrix, meaning female writer.

Back to #BooksOfHours, another miniature from the Houghton was added today, 2020HEM-79. Possibly from Sienna, later 15th C. It is a lovely MS, but rebound (17th C) and either then or later many leaves were removed. Some offices start in the middle, and folios have ink transfer from non-existent miniatures.
