Nerd News: Gorgeous Manuscript at the British Library

Dating from the 17th century, a spectacular illuminated manuscript of the Indian epic poem the Ramayana is now on display at the British Library until September 14.

And I'm stuck on the wrong side of the pond! At least the British Library has a website of the exhibit, complete with a few pages available online.

Last time I was at the British Library, I had a chance to see another lovely manuscript, the 7th-8th century AD Lindisfarne Gospels. So don't miss those if you go.
