Reading a vernacular text in a medieval codex: An Introduction (London, BL, Harley MS 978 and the Lais of Marie of France).
The Harley MS 978 is the book that preserves the collection of the Lais di Marie of France in its most complete form. Its transcript in littera textualis can be an excellent tool for introducing non-expert students to the paleography of vernacular texts: they will read some pages of the book, with the critical help of the teacher.
