A reader added a fetching cuff to their 'manicule', a pointing finger used to indicate an important passage in Justus Jonas' commentaries on the acts of the apostles, printed in Basel 501 years ago #ManiculeMonday #MondayMarginalia

Detail of the margin of a page from a 16th century book with a hand-drawn manicule or pointed finger added in ink, indicating a section of printed text.
A section so important, it required two 'manicules' or pointing fingers, left by 16th century readers. It describes the coronation of Charles VII of France in 1380 & is from Fabyan's Chronicle, a history of Britain printed in 1516
