I discovered this video and thus this wonderful channel by accident. Just amazing. Never heard of the museum, never heard of most subjects you filmed and never thought medical knowledge could be so fun and interesting at the same time. Thank you for the wonderful work! Regards from Antwerp, Belgium. 🤙❤️🇧🇪

How extra do you have to be to draw an actual hand with golden cuffs to point to the part you need to remember? XD Well, books were a rare work of art back then, even their doodles and notes had to look good. This is neat and heartbreaking at the same time.

now, carefully wash hands after touching that book covered with ancient sputum, blood and bodily fluids.

I was just going to write the same thing. 👻🤘 "Gloves please!!!"

[@MandieLynneReview]

[@josefinaherreros1734]

I have never clicked a video this fast. Love it!

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

What's the 'MUTTER' with you....PLEASE ...when things get back to 'normal', come and see this amazing place in person.🤗

[@jeremyh3758]

Has this book been digitized?

[@KissMeImABBW]

Good question!

[@t0rschlusspan1k]

And still no answer after a year. :/

[@prochey69]

I'd be really interested in hearing a comparison between this text and the Voynich Manuscript! Thank you for the fascinating content :)

[@lilitheden748]

What I would give to touch and read this fantastic book. It’s like you feel history come to life between your fingers.

[@Bladewing10]

Is there a printing or scan of this book?

[@voraciousreader3341]

This is the kind of video I love to see and am glad it was recommended, instead of the enormous fibroids, heart, gallstones, etc. I’m not at all into the disgusting stuff, but since others are, great! We’re all different for a reason, right?

[@mogh2603]

what is the name of the textbook?

[@BeagleLove13]

I can’t believe they let her touch the book without gloves. I would think they would have taken better care of the book.

[@omedelbart]

It's actually safer to not wear gloves and just wash your hands thouroughly. You're more likely to accidentally damage it when wearing gloves because you can't really feel what you're doing. If she was harming the book in any way they wouldn't have published this video.

[@helmaschine1885]

Always with this comment. The new thought is that gloves make people CLUMSY and clean hands aren't the biological hazards you think they are to vellum and paper.

[@KristinkaAranova]

Agreed, my dad has 13th century bible an has touched it with clean hands and no gloves and it looks as good as it did 700 years ago
