i think i am looking at a late sixteenth-century copy transcribed by suor michelagniola of a manuscript originally written by a different suor michelagniola

whoever spilled water on this manuscript hundreds of years ago is my mortal enemy.

i am losing track of all the suor michelagniolas in this monastery and so were the nuns labelling manuscripts. no one has any clue which michelagniola is which.

In the first program of the 1974 @winnipegfolkfest.bsky.social, organizers wrote: β€œFolk Fest is not just a place to come and listen, although listening is an important part. It is a place to learn, to become involved, to share the many living traditions that will be here this weekend.” #FolkFest50
