Hi, I am trying to access a manuscript held at the (Greek Orthodox) Jerusalem Patriarchal library. I wrote and received no response. Does anyone have experience with this library or know someone I can contact, please?

The momentous unrolling of Prof George Brooke's facsimile Great Isaiah Scroll here at Bristol's Religion and Theology research seminar. George spoke to us on: "From fake news to AI Scribes: the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls since 2000 and its implications."

Back at work this week and I wanted to share something that's actually a cool history post and not just, like, anti-imperialist rage. This is a Buddhist 'dharani' amulet found in a tomb at Chang'an (modern Xi'an) in northern China. It was *printed* (probably by monks) circa 650-670 CE.
