Bodleian Library MS. Laud Misc. 238, fol. 90v, col.1, lnn. 18-31 (1200-1225.) Title: "De nobili principe Gunnaro, postea monacho Clareuallis. Capitulum XXVIIII." Text: "Nam et nobilissimus princeps Gunnarus, iudex quondam et dominus Sardinie tetrarchalis, cum aliquando gratia orationis sanctum Martinum Turonensem expetisset, in reditu transiens per Claramuallem, et a beato Bernardo deuote susceptus, de salute quoque anime copiose admonitus, conuersioni minime consensit, licet pater sanctus ipso presente et multum gratulante cecum quondam illuminasset."

One of the many aspects I love about history is the study of handwriting: palaeography. (credits: Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford. CC BY-NC 4.0)
