For the scholars: the official designation of the book is Einsiedeln Stiftsbibliothek Codex 326. It's an 8th cent guide to Rome. #BrockTalks

— Brock Humanities (@brockhumanities) March 22, 2017

The text was written late 8th cent, copy made in 9th cent. Bound in the 14th cent and acquired by library at Einsiedeln #BrockTalks

— Brock Humanities (@brockhumanities) March 22, 2017

The author is also really interested in ancient monuments. Most itineraries of this era focus only on Christian sites. #BrockTalks

He talks about classical sites using classical terms. He also really likes aqueducts! #BrockTalks
