    I helped out with an art project once photographing a very old “illuminated manuscript” book so that it could be restored digitally. Literally pouring over thousand year old handwriting to fill in the time-destroyed gaps where letters used to be. It was neat and it permanently altered my brain to be forever interested in interesting handwriting 😅

      Very cool, I’ve had a very similar experience! PS - please take as constructive criticism that it is to pore over, not pour over.

      Tsk look at this tryhard over here using his brain to do actually cool and interesting things instead of just feeding invaluable manuscripts into the book-eating machine /s
