Podcasts about manuscripts

In this episode I join Charles Manson in Oxford, England to visit the Bodleian Library (Oxford University) where he is the specialist librarian for its Tibetan Collections. Charles leads us through the streets of Oxford to visit the old Bodleian Library, founded in 1602. Then we arrive at the Weston Library to explore its collection of Tibetan manuscripts. Charles guides us through gold lettered texts about Lamdre and expiation, describes the process of textual revelation known as “terma”, and shares a warning based on his own experiences of dark retreat. Charles explains the Tibetan doctrines of the afterlife while showing a rare copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, muses on Coleridge's advice for visiting a library, and reflects on why he believes converts to Tibetan Buddhism should attempt to learn the Tibetan language. Charles also details his working routine as a librarian and archivist, reflects on his own academic journey from SOAS to Harvard and Oxford, and considers the role his religious faith plays in his work with Tibetan texts. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep332-oxford-librarian-of-tibet-charles-manson Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

Learn how to work with beta readers in a grounded, calm way so feedback feels useful, not overwhelming.You're nearing the finish line of your first draft, or maybe you've just crossed it. Either way, the question is the same… what happens next? Should you send it to friends? Hire an editor? Bury it in a drawer? Everyone keeps mentioning “beta readers,” but what does that actually mean? And how do you find the right ones without losing your mind or your confidence?In this episode, I'm breaking down the entire beta-reader process so you can take your book from first draft to ready-to-share with total clarity (and zero panic).You'll hear me talk about things like:[01:45] What beta readers actually do (and what they don't), so you approach this next step with the right intentions to avoid disappointment. [02:55] The "blind spot” problem every author faces after finishing a draft, and how beta readers give you a fresh perspective when you're too close to your story. [05:15] Where to find reliable, genre-savvy beta readers that don't ghost you and deliver quality feedback instead of vague opinions.[09:25] How to set clear expectations before beta readers start so you get useful, specific notes instead of confusing contradictions.[14:45] What to do after the feedback arrives: how to sort through conflicting opinions, decide what to keep, and turn it all into a calm, actionable revision plan.Finishing your first draft is a huge accomplishment, but inviting beta readers in can feel like a whole new level of vulnerability. This episode will help you take that next step with composure so you can share your story, stay true to your vision, and come out the other side with a stronger manuscript and a clearer sense of direction.

Once again restored to power in France, the House of Bourbon and their supporters work to reverse the enduring changes brought about by the revolution. Lafayette rallies his fellow liberals to oppose this reactionary agenda, but when legal methods of opposition prove ineffective, he is driven to increasingly seditious actions.

Cooper, who stole $200,000 and disappeared after skydiving.Now, Edwards turns his analytical brain to the world's most mysterious manuscript: the Voynich Manuscript.Voynich Reconsidered: The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World is Dr. Edwards's attempt at decoding this headache-producing document. If you think James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is hard to decipher, try the Voynich Manuscript!Excerpts from Voynich ReconsideredThe parchment for these four folios was most probably produced sometime in the first half of the fourteenth century.Who wrote the Voynich Manuscript?Nobody knows. Edwards debunks the idea that Roger Bacon authored it:D'Imperio devoted considerable effort to the study of the supposed link between the manuscript and Roger Bacon. She could not have known that the Voynich parchment would eventually be submitted to radiocarbon technology and that the samples would be dated, with up to 92 percent probability, to periods ranging between 1308 and 1458. Therefore, she could not have known that Bacon, who lived in the thirteenth century, would be excluded as the author of the manuscript, or at least as its producer or as one of its scribes.Is the Voynich Manuscript a hoax?Before we embark on our own voyage of investigation of the Voynich manuscript, we must consider the alarming possibility that it is a journey to nowhere. That is to say: it may be that the manuscript cannot be translated or deciphered because it has no intrinsic meaning. For want of better words, we must consider that the manuscript could be a hoax or a forgery.What's the Voynich Manuscript about?There is an “herbal” section, consisting of 129 pages and thereby comprising more than half of the book.The astronomical, cosmological, and astrological sections are short. Edwards is “tempted to group them together into a ‘cosmic' theme, occupying thirty-one pages.”The Voynich manuscript invites, for those who are so disposed, the insertion of a preconceived narrative. In this respect, it bears comparison with the notorious proliferation of narratives relating to the man who came to be known as D.B. Cooper, and his hijacking of Northwest Airlines Flight 305 on November 24, 1971.Do we know what the Voynich Manuscript's message is?For many years, the mission controllers at NASA resisted demands for another photographic targeting of the “Face. ” Finally, they relented. In 2001, the Mars Global Surveyor took the first new image of the object, at a much higher resolution than that of the Viking. It was revealed to be an eroded mesa with a pleasing symmetry, and certainly with gulleys and hollows that conveyed elements of a human face. Whether that is the end of the story, the reader may decide. This author is content for the mesa to be the product of erosion, by wind or by water, and not the work of ancient Martians, however much we would like it to be so. Likewise, determined researchers of the Voynich manuscript can find, within its cryptic and inscrutable pages, that which they wish to findConclusionI loved Dr. Edwards's other two books (Mallory & Cooper). Although I liked this one about the Voynich manuscript, it's such an inscrutable and inaccessible document that I found it challenging to stay engaged.Moreover, I don't understand why some people believe that old documents are worth much more than their historical value. Religious texts are helpful because they reveal the values and ideas of the past, but are often utterly wrong, especially when it comes to scientific facts. Even when they're not mistaken, they're often incomplete. A modern botanist knows far more about plants than a 14th-century writer.Some fans of the Voynich manuscript seem to believe that if we can somehow decode it, we'll learn a mind-bending revelation. I doubt it.Other fans, including Dr. Edwards, find the Voynich manuscript fascinating for the same reason people are drawn to Sudoku or a crossword puzzle: it's fun to solve a mystery even if it yields little practical benefit.If you're drawn to puzzles and the Voynich manuscript, you must buy the Voynich Manuscript and then read Voynich Reconsidered: The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World. You're guaranteed to learn countless remarkable facts about the manuscript in Dr. Edwards's splendid and thorough analysis.For others, I'd first start by reading Dr. Edwards's other two books, which are more accessible than this one.Verdict: 7 out of 10 stars.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my newsletter at https://wanderlearn.comIf you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.

The background, history, and manuscript evidence behind the Legacy Standard Bible are discussed. Some of its major erroneous readings are analyzed. The article mentioned is from an advertisement in the Sword of the Lord newspaper, September 17th, 1971 as cited in Dr. Peter Ruckman's book, Satan's Masterpiece! The New ASV, page 5. If you have any questions, please email kyle.kiker@1611ministries.org.

Psalm 22:16 is often quoted as clear prophecy—"They pierced my hands and my feet." But what if that's not what the Hebrew text says? In this episode, we examine the language, manuscripts, and context behind one of Christianity's most debated verses and ask what the evidence really shows.

In 1814, as Napoleon's fortunes turn for the worse, Lafayette considers returning to politics.

Want to support the podcast? Join our Patreon or buy us a coffee. As an independent podcast, Shakespeare Anyone? is supported by listeners like you. In this episode, we begin by exploring how Prospero's magic in The Tempest reflects early modern grimoire traditions—a form of ritual magic rooted in books, incantations, and precise ceremonial practice, especailly as compared to the types of magic we discussed in our Macbeth episodes. We examine how Shakespeare's depiction of Prospero's art, Prospero's relationship with Ariel, and the creation and disappearance of the masque parallel descriptions of grimoire magical practices found in a grimoire manuscript from the late 1500s. From there, we examine how The Tempest itself mirrors the alchemical process, moving through symbolic stages of separation, purification, and reconciliation. By tracing how the structure of the play parallels the alchemist's pursuit of transformation, we uncover how Shakespeare weaves together the worlds of science, faith, and magic to create a story of power, renewal, and artful creation. Shakespeare Anyone? is created and produced by Kourtney Smith and Elyse Sharp. Music is "Neverending Minute" by Sounds Like Sander.

The Book of Lecan Conference During this two-day event in October 2025, speakers explored the production of the Book of Lecan or Leabhar Mór Lecain, its scribes and patrons, and the texts contained within the manuscript. The manuscript known as the Book of Lecan (Leabhar Mór Lecain) was created in Co. Sligo in the early fifteenth century. It contains a large amount of genealogical material, especially relating to the families with which the scribes were associated, as well as historical, biblical and hagiographical material. Included are a Dindshenchas, Bansenchas, and versions of Lebor Gabála, Uraicept an nÉces, Cóir Anmann, and Book of Rights. The conference papers shared new insights into how the manuscript was produced, its history of ownership and the significance of the various texts found within the compilation. The event was a collaboration between the Royal Irish Academy, Maynooth University, and the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Recordings have some of the lectures have been made available, subject to the presenters' consent.

Episode 189:For today's guest episode it is my pleasure to welcome Dr Iman Sheeha to the podcast. Her book ‘Neighbourly Relations in early modern drama has been published recently so it was a great opportunity to talk to her about her research after she had just completed a summer tour of conferences.Her work is a close examination of neighbourly relationships in early modern English drama, placing a select number of plays alongside other contemporary materials such as wills, pamphlets and sermons and other sources that give us a glimpse of the early modern lived life. The plays span the period between the 1550s and the 1620s, belong to different genres, were aimed at different audiences, and were written for different kinds of playhouses, which allows for conclusions to be drawn about the way genre shapes the treatment of neighbourly relationships, as well as revealing continuities and changes during the period.Iman Sheeha is a Senior Lecturer in Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature at Brunel University of London and co-General Editor of New Mermaids Classic Plays series. She has wide-ranging interests within the fields of Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature, including gender, race, devotional literature, service, and domesticity and she works with PhD candidates working on these and related topics.She is the author of two books: Household Servants in Early Modern Domestic Tragedy, and Neighbourly Relationships in Early Modern Drama. She has co-edited a special issue on liminal domestic spaces for Early Modern Literary Studies. Her research has appeared or is forthcoming in Shakespeare Survey, Early Theatre, The Journal of Early Modern Cultural Studies, Early Modern Literary Studies, and American Notes and Queries and she contributed a chapter to People and Piety: Devotional Writing in Print and Manuscript in Early Modern England (MUP, 2019).' She has written the introduction for the Oxford World's Classics edition of ‘The Tragedy of Master Arden of Faversham' which is due to be published by Oxford University Press in April, 2026.Links to books by Iman Sheehahttps://www.routledge.com/Neighbourly-Relationships-in-Early-Modern-Drama-Staged-Communities/Sheeha/p/book/9781032896670https://www.routledge.com/Household-Servants-in-Early-Modern-Domestic-Tragedy/Sheeha/p/book/9780367503772Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

We are happy to team up with Denis Salgado from The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) and discuss the history and transmission of the New Testament documents. The CSNTM is an organization started by Dan Wallace that exists to preserve and digitize NT manuscripts, studying their background and transmission. As part of their service to the church, CSNTM has a series of lectures they offer to local churches in an effort to help Christians understand the textual history of the New Testament documents.This is part 4 of a 7 part series, called Text to Translation: The Story of the New Testament. This episode focuses on the New Testament Manuscript Contents, discussing the content of the various New Testament Manuscripts, helping us understand exactly what they looked like and how that impacts our understanding of the transmission of the New Testament.

Regaining his freedom after five years in prison, Lafayette emerges into a world irrevocably changed by the revolution he helped put into motion. Now considered a political liability by the governments of both France and the United States, and with war continuing to rage across Europe, his future appeared more uncertain than ever.

In this Bell Work Talk, Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye discusses her team's pilot study comparing blind swab and speculum-assisted evidence collection during sexual assault forensic medical examinations. She highlights how both methods yield similar rates of Y-screen positivity and CODIS-eligible DNA profiles, underscoring the potential of less invasive approaches to improve survivor participation in evidence collection while maintaining forensic integrity. Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye, DNP, CNM, APRN, SANE-A, is an Assistant Professor in the Wellstar School of Nursing at Kennesaw State University and Clinical Director of the SAFE Center. A certified nurse-midwife and experienced Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Dr. Saye brings over a decade of experience in forensic nursing, trauma-informed care, and interdisciplinary community-academic collaboration. Her research focuses on strengthening forensic evidence collection practices, advancing survivor-centered policies, and improving health and legal outcomes for victims of violence. Dr. Saye recently led a multi-site pilot study across 13 sexual assault centers in the Southeastern U.S. that compared blind swab and speculum-assisted vaginal/cervical specimen collection methods. These findings inform both clinical training and policy, supporting survivor-centered and trauma-informed approaches in forensic nursing practice. Resources: Saye, J. L., et al. (2025).

In this episode, Jess unpacks some of the clearest signs that it may be time to bring a professional set of eyes to your manuscript. Writing a book can feel isolating, overwhelming, and sometimes frustrating—and knowing when to get help can make all the difference.Jess explores three telltale indicators:Your story feels stuck or directionless. A developmental editor can provide structure, identify missing threads, and suggest arcs to keep the narrative flowing.You're receiving confusing or contradictory feedback. This often signals that your themes and lessons aren't landing. A professional editor can synthesize feedback, clarify recurring themes, and give you a roadmap for revisions.You're too close to the work. When you can't read your manuscript one more time without getting lost in it, an outside perspective can reveal blind spots and bring clarity.To close, Jess offers a reflective journal prompt: If you're working on something right now, ask yourself—“Am I too close to this?”This episode is both practical and encouraging, helping writers recognize when support can move their book forward.This podcast is hosted by Jessica Buchanan, a NYT Bestselling author, speaker, survivor and founder of Soul Speak Press.

The Voynich Manuscript This week is all about the strange Voynich Manuscript. We explored how this mysterious 240-page medieval book, written entirely in an unknown language and filled with bizarre illustrations, has baffled scholars for over a century. From its discovery by rare book dealer Dr. Wilford M. Voynich in 1912 at a Jesuit college near Rome to its current home at Yale University, we traced the manuscript's fascinating journey through the hands of alchemists, occultists, and royalty. The book features drawings of unidentifiable plants, unusual star charts that don't quite match Earth's perspective, and peculiar images of naked women bathing in colored liquids—all accompanied by elegant, flowing text that no one has ever been able to decipher. We discussed the leading theories about the manuscript's origins, from the possibility that it was an elaborate hoax created by medieval forger Edward Kelly to sell to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, to the idea that it's simply a coded language whose key has been lost to time. We also explored the most intriguing theory: that this could be an alien travel journal, documenting unfamiliar plants, star charts from another vantage point, and perhaps even the abduction process involving those mysterious liquid-filled tubes.

Host Natalie Grueninger welcomes Ellie Webster to Talking Tudors to explore the life of Mary Shelton: her noble family ties, role at Anne Boleyn's court, and a brief affair with Henry VIII. The episode focuses on Shelton's poems and annotations in the Devonshire Manuscript and what they reveal about love, reputation, and women's voices in the Tudor court. The conversation also examines Shelton's links with Mary Howard, Margaret Douglas and Henry Howard, confusion over identities in the sources, and Ellie's research process. A concise, source-driven portrait that brings an overlooked Tudor courtier and poet into clearer view.

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com PROGRAM NOTES: Tangier, 1957. William Burroughs is creating Naked Lunch in the port city where traditional hashish preparations flow as freely as mint tea, and every transaction crosses cultural boundaries. Through the eyes of a young Moroccan fixer who navigates between worlds we witness the birth of ideas that would reshape consciousness and art. This is the untold story behind the famous line "language is a virus": a tale of how traditional North African wisdom practices intersected with experimental American writing, how words spread through cultural networks like contagions, and how the most revolutionary ideas often travel through the most ancient channels. Fiction grounded in research and respect, "Majoun & Manuscript" explores what happens when consciousness expansion meets cultural appropriation, when preservation becomes violation, and when a young translator must choose between using language to control or to protect.

Locked away in Yale University's Beinecke Library is one of the world's strangest books. Filled with unknown symbols, bizarre illustrations of plants that don't exist, and indecipherable text, the Voynich Manuscript has defied scholars, cryptographers, and codebreakers for centuries. Some believe it's an elaborate hoax, others think it holds forgotten knowledge, and a few suggest it may even be of unearthly origin. Despite countless attempts, no one has ever cracked its code. In this episode, we examine the enduring enigma of the Voynich Manuscript.

Arrested by the Austrians after escaping political persecution in France, Lafayette is locked away in a dungeon for refusing to betray his ideals. While his family and friends, scattered across the world, do what they can to aid him, it becomes increasingly clear as time went on that his salvation would come from the same nation that had once scorned him.

Send us a textBruno Bauer, an intellectual colleague of Marx, wrote two essays to which Marx reacted strongly. The first was called “The Jewish Question” (Die Judenfrage), the second “On The Capacity of Present-Day Jews and Christians to Become Free.”  Marx wrote two essays responding to Bauer's work, using the same titles.  The group of intellectuals of which Marx and Bauer were a part were debating how to achieve freedom (emancipation). Bauer saw Jews in terms of the Jewish religion. While Christians had just to seek freedom, Jews had to go through two steps to achieve freedom, theological and political (universal).  They had to abandon the Torah, and their focus upon themselves, and then join Christians to become politically free.  Bauer thought Jewish political behavior could be completely understood in terms of their ancient teachings.  Marx objected strongly, insisting that the religious issues were superficial and that Bauer had misunderstood the nature of conflict and freedom. These two essays were published in limited circulation and fell from public view when the 1848 uprising failed to achieve democracy and Marx fled into exile. They were only republished (along with several others) after World War II and are commonly called The 1844 Manuscripts or The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts. These few manuscripts show a very different Marx from the Cold War image.  He was  someone interested in religion and human development. (Note: The first American publication used the title “A World Without Jews,” a term Marx never used, and which sounded very ominous in the aftermath of the Jewish holocaust.             I did this as a class lecture in my Religion and Politics class.  It was a valuable lecture because not a single student had ever heard of these essays.  I hesitated to turn the lecture into a podcast but once I had a text of the lecture, I saw that it had potential and decided to adapt it to podcast format.  I frequently asked students to write a two-page reaction paper (not graded) about how they thought about the lecture.  Almost universally, they liked this lecture because it taught them some things they did not know.  One of my students, a couple of decades ago, offered a unique perspective.  He was a trained Islamic scholar.  He said he had been trained in Koranic studies.  He knew the Koran and the Hadith (opinions and stories from the life and example of Mohammed).  to him those things were very important.  But he now understood that Muslims were also a community of people who lived in the real world.  Much of their behavior could be understood by thinking in that context. His was a reaction that many students had.  Glitch:  Around nine minutes in I accidentally hit the keyboard.  This required some editing.  If you notice a jump around that point, this is why.

Part of the reason a lot of people figure nothing much went on during the Middle Ages is because we've lost a whole lot of sources telling us what actually did happen. Through malice and misfortune, medieval manuscripts have been destroyed in their thousands. So, how do we know what may have gone up in smoke? And what can we do to keep our beloved manuscripts safe? This week, Danièle speaks with Robert Bartlett about the manuscripts we've lost by accident and by design, and how these precious documents are being preserved today.You can support this podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists

Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss different ways to effectively preach with a manuscript. Some Highlights: Two cons of manuscript preaching: Your delivery can be too wooden. You can miss what the Spirit is doing in the worship gathering A manuscript can provide clarity and coherence. Even in a manuscript, leave room for what Hallock calls “rant time.”

In popular culture and UFO conspiracy theories, Men In Black are government agents dressed in dark suits, who question, interrogate, harass, and threaten unidentified flying object witnesses to keep them silent about what they have seen. The term is also frequently used to describe mysterious men working for unknown organizations, as well as various branches of government allegedly tasked with protecting government UFO secrets or performing other strange activities. They are typically described as tall men with expressionless faces, slightly pale skin, and usually wearing black suits with black sunglasses.  Join Joel on the final leg of the journey to discover the genesis of the Men In Black and their secret plans for mankind. He begins by looking at the Cipher Manuscript that started the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the mysterious Secret Chief, Fräulein Anna Sprengel, who gave leadership to William Wynn Wescott. He also looks at Aleister Crowley's Liber 811, Energized Enthusiasm, and his meeting with a Man In Black who brings him to a ritual site of the Rose Croix. Lastly, Joel looks at modern angelic healing stories that seem eerily similar to Men In Black appearances since the 1940s.
