Hi! Do you have recs for readings on book history or manuscript studies? Codicology and paleography are my new fave topics and I can’t get enough!

hello! i am so sorry for taking forever on this. partly why-- besides, like, life-- is that codicology and paleography are not my areas of expertise (i tend towards the 16th-18th centuries) so thank you for giving the me the opportunity to dive into them!!
