Thrifty medieval bailiffs accidentally saved Old Norse texts
"Norwegian archivists have found hidden treasures in medieval accounting records, including a slightly different version of the saga of Olav the Holy. Now you can see them online."
How cool is that?

@clew Cool! Do you happen to know the name of the group?
@mirabilis cannot remember it! Something with a reference, like “ex Libris” but subtler. I think.
@mirabilis there’s an early music group that specializes in music found like that - palimpsest, or strips of parchment now the interiors of later books.
