Very early 18th century weaving patterns @folger.edu (V.a.540)!!!
A couple of these look like twills and most are diamonds - several patterns in the book required up to 16 harnesses!
The book is little - about 4.5" by 2.5" and also features recipes for bovine and human child cures.

Had an absolutely glorious time today looking at medieval books of hours and breviaries at Albert and Shirley Small special collections! @rareuva.bsky.social
I always am fascinated by looking at signs of use - seeing how worn some pages were and where other codices fell open to was amazing!

I attended a lovely talk by @sophiewhittle.bsky.social on the role of LLMs and generative AI in Digital Scholarly Editing! I'm excited to see discussions about how AI comes to bear on early period work. I'm left reflecting on the utility of AI and the (modern) biases that it may introduce to texts.
