Now we're hearing from Andrew Honey, book conservator at the @bodleianlibs #teachingcodex

What do we mean by hybridity? The idea of 'mixed character' seems of most interest. The composite nature of the items studied and complexity that brings out? How to get students to think beyond presenting something *as a text* #teachingcodex
Writing is physical as well as intellectual activity. My teaching started with typewriters; it's moved back into handmade paper, parchment, binding practices #teachingcodex
