Episode 12: Becky Pratt-Sturges on hunting rituals, hunting dogs, and the labor of manuscript digitization

In Episode 12 of Inside My Favorite Manuscript, Lindsey and Dot chat with Becky Pratt-Sturges about BNF Français 616, a 14th century hunting manual. This is a bloody episode with frank discussion of animal death, so be prepared! We talk about hunting rituals, how dogs participated in the hunt, and the amazing life of Gaston Phébus, the person who wrote the manual and gifted it to a rival. We close with a topic particularly close to our hearts: the labor and economy of manuscript digitization.
