If you find a ye (I.e. thorn + e), tag with <expan> and </expan>. Or you cam write th instead of y and highlight it and click expan button. Common question :-) #emroctranscribes

Thanks to Liza Blake for the helpful transcribing sheets she has put together, and which are critical for #emroctranscribes. Guidance here: emroc.hypotheses.org/transcribathon… .

Transcribers working hard, including undergraduates from UCL History and Postgraduates from UCL and Essex History. #emroctranscribes with Wellcome Collection and RCP museum .

Any ideas what the last word on the first line might be? Looks maybe like scalability, but OED offers no obvious matches. It involves taking juice of broom and whatever it is, and adding it to whey and honey. #emroctranscribes #earlymodern #histmed

Welcome to the North American contingent joining #emroctranscribes around now!

Zoom room hosted by Wellcome Collection and chaired by Gail Chapman from RCP museum now open. Having a chat with @profjill_burke Julia Nurse (Wellcome) and Pamela Forde (RCP) to talk about beauty and health. (Prebooked via eventbrite.) Mix of in person and virtual speakers!

Thanks so much for joining us again this year! We love having you :-)

Having fun with the annual trascribathon. Lucked out in Wellcome Collection 4054 with classics like the Countess of Kent's pills and a water for the Stone. RCP museum MS 504 isn't quite as hard to read as it first looks (phew) and I'm in the middle of lots of horse remedies.

Great speakers today for the Transcribathon! Want to know more about the day & the recipe books? 👉emroc.hypotheses.org/transcribathon… includes videos about RCP MS504 on authorship, health & beauty recipes plus the recreation of a lip salve in Wellcome Collection's MS4054. EMROC

Moving now to the Teams room, hosted by @HillaryNunn! Link in this post at the bottom of the schedule. #emroctranscribes emroc.hypotheses.org

It was such fun to transcribe with my undergrad students from UCL History & wonderful to introduce them to 17c book objects. Thank you to Wellcome Collection and RCP museum for hosting us and EMROC for organizing! #bookhistory #histsci #histmed

Still transcribing left for enthusiasts, esp w/ the juicy RCP museum MS 504. The hand initially looks intimidating, but you get used to it quickly. Lots on beauty incl #animalhist. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u…

Saturday plans? I find transcribing relaxing and mindful.

Some tidbits from RCP museum MS 504 for #emroctranscribes.

Another person who encourages you not to be deterred by the hand in RCP museum MS 504. #emroctranscribes

Please apply! CSHM and AMS Healthcare offer four Hannah studentships for projects in the history of medicine. Deadline 9 Feb 2024. cshm-schm.ca/students-etudi…

Another tidbit from RCP museum MS 504 is the surprise knowledge of gout as an STD-- or perhaps more likely a major humoral constitution shift with life circumstances... Apparently "One never had the Gout, untill he hath known woman carnally. Hippocrates." #earlymodern #histmed
