The Scribe’s Cat

I love this picture. We don’t know much about the medieval Croatian scribe who transcribed that manuscript but we do know that he had a cat:

While pawing through a stack of medieval manuscripts from Dubrovnik, Croatia, University of Sarajevo doctoral student Emir O. Filipović stumbled upon a familiar set of splotches marring the centuries-old pages. Years ago, a mischievous kitty had left her ink-covered prints on the book.
