Deleting @Twitter from my phone (but keeping this account). Too many notifications! Even filtering them in the settings yields far too many.

Check out a short writeup @brunomshirley and I did for the @SAPCornell about a selection of Pāli manuscripts collected by the late Jim Gair.
.@TylerALehrer and I wrote a wee piece about some very cool Sri Lankan manuscripts in the @SAPCornell Bulletin. Cornell inherited these manuscripts from the late Jim Gair, and I hope that they see many years of love from researchers and students alike. ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/…
