- Description
- Paleographical analysis of the text of Astr in Bodley MS 19 reveals that it was produced not by a professional astronomer, but by Stephen Dodesham, a professional scribe who became a Carthusian monk. Other features of the manuscript encourage suggestions about its production and the audience of the text.
