I've missed a couple of weeks of blogs now - but for a good reason!
I'm in the process of putting together a first draft of my thesis which has resulted in much editing and rewriting, but little new research. No new research, means no new blogs. However, I do have an useful source to share with the interwebs and a nifty MS image.
The source is the Patrologia Latina which is essentially a source book for early church texts. It exists in physical form in many, many volumes or in searchable form via a subscription database (my nearest subscribing library is the Bodleian).
When chasing a single reference however, an online edition would be more helpful. Never fear! This wonderful website lists multiple sources for each volume:

You're welcome.
This image is in a collection of 16th century love poems and no, I'm not really sure why the ladies are capturing winged hearts. It's a lovely image though isn't it?
