Introduction 2003

I have a set of esoteric technical skills (facility in dead languages; training in paleography and codicology, graduate-level training in several different humanities disciplines); I often work in archives with "real" objects, where I sometimes hope to find something no one else has ever seen; and some of my writing is fairly straightforward reporting on what I find.

qms commented on the word codicology
Accept, if you will, a most odd apology:
I misapprehended this codicology;
It’s for ancient writing,
Not haddock and whiting,
Nor matters affecting our cod ecology.
