SAME. I was recently talking about this with a friend too. He would act cold still but then the wee babies would soften him like butter and he would spoil them so very much. One time Adrien catches Gabriel baby-talking and when called out on it, Gabriel vehemently denies it.
The vellum cover of this 1640 Italian work appears to be one large manuscript page that has been folded in on itself, hiding the handwritten text from the casual observer. But at some point in the volume’s history, someone appears to have made an incision on the rear pastedown along the edges of one of the folds, allowing us a surreptitious peek at what lies beneath.
I love these little glimpses into the secret lives of books. By looking at the text in the second image, does anyone have any insight as to what the repurposed manuscript might say?
