Today and Wednesday were the presentations for that rare book class.

My presentation is Wednesday but from watching today's presentations, I feel confident.

So far, no one else has unearthed as much about their assigned book's provenance as I have.

So far, no one else has tried to tackle a book as old as I have (everyone else chose books dating from the age of print)

So far, no one else has found evidence to challenge the date of their book.

I finished my presentation just a few moments ago. I'm feeling really good about this.

My next priority will be to track down some good paleography resources to see if I can place the hand the book is written in. I don't trust the 13th century date because it looks more like a late Carolingian hand from the 12th century. In particular, the lower case letter "d" always seems to have an upright stem, something I have yet to see on a single 13th century text.
