What a great handbook this is. I like the fact it is so concise and yet comprehensive in scope. I am currently finishing my PhD at the U of Birmingham, UK. I am working on F13 in St. John's Gospel. I wish I had obtained this earlier. As it is, it will still help me recognize some of the more obscure ligatures I encounter in Byzantine minuscules. It is a wealth of information, readily available without having to dig out my photocopies of Gardthausen and others. You also bring together some great sources I have never seen before. I intend to recommend it to my friends.
