Episode 2: Lisa Fagin Davis on a Fragment, a Forgery, and a Fiend

In our second episode, we talk to manuscript scholar Lisa Fagin Davis about three of her favorite manuscripts, all of which happen to be in the collections of the Beinecke Library at Yale University:

The Gottschalk Antiphonary, now a collection of fragments (Beinecke MS 481.51)

Epistolary, Cistercian Use, a 15th century manuscript with substantial forged illustrations added in the 19th century (Beinecke MS 283)

Cypher Manuscript aka The Voynich Manuscript, a fiend of a manuscript that has proven itself impossible to decipher (Beinecke MS 408)
