Die Universitätsbibliothek Leipzig stellt einen 1.300 Jahre alten Papyrusschatz aus. Das wertvolle Schriftstück befindet sich bereits über 100 Jahre in Leipzig. Erst im Jahr 2008 filterten Fachleute die zusammengehörigen Papyrusteile heraus und stellten fest, dass das alte Buch den neutestamentarischen Text des Evangeliums nach Markus enthielt 👉 mdr.de/s/papyrusschatz

In the spirit of spring, Easter and new beginnings: here's some fluffy ducklings 🐣🥰

Alice Boyd was a painter, illustrator and the 14th Laird of Penkill Castle in Ayrshire. She was a pupil of William Bell Scott, and the two eventually became long-term romantic partners – a situation that was accepted by Scott's wife, Letitia. The couple collaborated on mural decorations on the walls and ceilings of Penkill Castle, as well as stained-glass windows for the South Kensington (now V&A Museum, London).

'Ducklings' 1868, Alice Boyd. Pencil on paper.
