    I helped out with an art project once photographing a very old “illuminated manuscript” book so that it could be restored digitally. Literally pouring over thousand year old handwriting to fill in the time-destroyed gaps where letters used to be. It was neat and it permanently altered my brain to be forever interested in interesting handwriting 😅

      Very cool, I’ve had a very similar experience! PS - please take as constructive criticism that it is to pore over, not pour over.
