One from set of 13 leaves illustrating the processes of projective-evolution of the Universe according to Tantra philosophy
Produced in London in the 1330s, the manuscript provides a unique insight into the English language and literature that Chaucer and his generation grew up with and were influenced by. It acquired its name from its first known owner, Lord Auchinleck, who discovered the manuscript in 1740 and donated it to the precursor of the National Library in 1744. Auchinleck contains a large collection of Middle English poetry, containing a wide range of genres, the above detail being one of eight romances. Reinbroun in particular shows an interest in the supernatural and the fairy world. Transcription ....
Stored at Nav Nalanda Mahavihara, there are rare manuscripts from Lord Buddha period (6 BC).
Established in 1951 to keep the ancient tradition of spreading knowledge, Nav Nalanda Vihar was set up by the Bihar government to teach Pali language near the ancient university. Pali a widely used language in the ancient times.
A place that carries the rich history, tradition and culture of a great nation Nalanda proffers some unique experience to the visitors. A visit to this tiny hamlet is just like going back to the ancient times. While roaming through the ramparts of stupas, monasteries and viharas one would feel they are walking through the doorsteps of various centuries. It is a must visit place for those who are proud of being a part of such a great culture and interested in knowing the colourful incidents of the past.
It is also the land of World's First University. A land of education and knowledge.

My friend Melissa runs the 3-day novel contest. Then she mugs her friends into reading the manuscripts. It's actually a lot of fun, especially when we read together.

Alexander Grant (1856 - 1942) was a native of Battangorm, Carrbridge, which gave rise to his familiar name - 'Battan'. As a boy he was exposed to what were to become his two great passions - fiddling and fishing. He went on to excel in both areas; as an angler by inventing his own unique fishing rod known as the 'Grant Vibration Rod', and as a fiddler by leading the Highland Strathspey and Reel Society for almost forty years and by becoming an expert in fiddle making techniques. He also invented a unique disc-shaped violin known as a 'Rondello'. An example of Grant's fishing rod, fiddle and Rondello can be seen at Inverness Museum and Art Gallery (IMAG).
Grant was a great friend of fellow musician and composer James Scott Skinner (1843-1927), a major figure in the development of Scottish traditional music, often referred to as 'The Strathspey King'. This hand-written manuscript was sent to Grant by Skinner. It is undated but Skinner has added the note 'from J Scott Skinner nearing his 81st birthday' which would make the date around 1924. The music is Skinner's violin solo arrangement for 'Dark Lochnagar' a tune originally composed by Miss Gibson, 1841 (Skinner's note)
Following my curiosity I emailed the British Library with this image. It is an extract from a bound manuscript of about 500 pages. I don't believe it is 'ancient', but it is probably c. 100 years old. A curator responded incredibly promptly to tell me that it is written in Kannada and is a "prologue to the Ramayana, the Jain version".
My wife works in a school in Southall, west London, and has shown it to lots of people who speak lots of Asian languages, but none of them could identify it, let alone read it, although they all said how lovely it looked!
Напевно, в житті кожної людини, що мислить або намагається мислити, колись настає мить, коли доводиться палити рукописи – усі численні юнацькі тексти, вірші, пісні та ідеї перебудови світу, що довгі роки уявлялися надзначущими… але залишилися у скриньках та шухлядах.
Ймовірно, це неправильно, адже, знищуючи хоча б найменшу частинку своєї історії, ми втрачаємо цілісність, самототожність, послідовність із собою вчорашнім – обмежуючи себе лише сьогоденням.
Утім, «рукописи не горять», тож, все варте життя залишиться всередині тебе, щоб, можливо, колись дати більш зрілі плоди. А язики полум’я на почорнілому папері нехай стануть тим символом, тією ритуальною складовою, завдяки якій прощання із цифровим минулим набуде справжньої відчутності.
