Very excited and encouraged to hear this is happening. Hoping Brexit will not hinder such collaborative projects. http://www.bl.uk/press-releases/2016/october/british-library-bnf-to-digitise-medieval-manuscript-treasures …

Ugh. We're not allowed to show enthusiasm. Get accused of 'fetishisation of the book.' Sod off. I just love being near them.

I want to know what they smell like. Is that weird?

XD They don't smell. Its old paper that smells. Vellum doesn't really. Washed, bleached, dried, chalked = nothing. Sorry.

Maybe they did at the time they were made. Leathery perhaps? Bindings certainly wld have. Not any that I've handled tho.
