With huge regret, @TheJohnRylands and @UoMLibrary buildings close at 5pm today until further notice. But so much to see online. Stay safe.

Get up close to ancient manuscripts and occult books that reveal the fascinating history of medicine. Our new exhibition, 'Seeing the Invisible' uncovers the lost culture of Syriac Christians in the Middle East. One day to go until it opens! #jrlInvisible man.ac.uk/7Pgixk

Author's Preface (read, I imagine, with quite a bit of stomachic sass): "I consider I hold a superior position to my helpmate Mr. Brain; for while I reside in the drawing-room floor, he lives in the attics." 🧠🍽️👄
'Memoirs of Stomach' (1854), a hugely popular "it-narrative" from the perspective of an amiable digestive organ plagued with gluttony: "My personal appearance, I must acknowledge, is not prepossessing, as I resemble a Scotch bagpipe in form" 🍩🍨🍗 #histmed
