Update to the previous announcement. The server limitation is apparently set in stone, making it currently impossible for the site to be fully operational. Workarounds are being explored but sadly, I don’t see an easy fix anytime soon.

(1/2) I’m sorry to announce CODECS will be unavailable while server problems continue. We may be in a spot of bother with the (new?) limitations of our hosting plan. Some essential maintenance scripts require a generous amount of time to complete, but ...

1/2 - Small notification. It was found that certain (SMW) query results started to become incomplete. A maintenance script is now running to rebuild the full-text search index. This might take a while as it needs to plough through an estimated 3 million table rows

2/2 - ... and the site will not be fully functional until it has finished doing so, or so I hope. Apologies for the temporary inconvenience!

Niche question for Welsh medievalists. While testing the prototype of a new TOC creator that links our data to IIIF resources, using the daunting Liber Landavensis as an example, I quickly got confused. The mystery of the absent f. 56v was easily solved (it's mislabelled) but ...

A little announcement to start the year: over the next few days all sites of the Van Hamel Foundation (CODECS included) will go offline for an upgrade and unless anything unforeseen happens, should be back up within a week or so.

Pleasantly surprised to see this on a #MediaWiki conference: on #MUDCon, Florian Thiery just presented a great rundown of study cases involving the use of #Wikibase software to record archaeological objects and sites, including Ogham stones, Irish holy wells and even Govan stones

2/3 - The source documents used here and presented together for convenience are from our TEI XML workbench (codecs.vanhamel.nl/Show:TEI). Many thanks to John Carey and the editors of Ériu for allowing me to publish a transcription of the fragment in the Liber Flavus Fergusiorum. On which note...

3/3 - it was very timely of @ria.ie to feature this MS as their 'manuscript of the week' - bsky.app/profile/ria.... . Digital images are available from @dias-isos.bsky.social and I hope those of Egerton 1782 in the @britishlibrary.bsky.social will be up (again) in the near future.

Royal Irish Academy@ria.ie

The Manuscript of the Week is RIA MS 23 O 48(b), Liber Flavus Fergusiorum. The contents of this Irish-language manuscript are mainly religious tracts, lives of the saints, passions and homilies and some legendary episodes from the Ulster cycle and the tale of Fortinbras (Stair Fierabhrais).
