Ms. Codex 1063 is a 15th century book of hours produced in England, probably London, perhaps for a member of a religious confraternity or community. The musical notation in the Office of the Dead is unusual.

Alright fuvkers I'm gonna teach you how to divide by biographies.
Tumblr media
Picture from @randomrottmntscreenshots blog bc I couldn't find a good pic
I work as a librarian and I am the local weird teen thing that just exists in the community, and I happen to love nonfiction books and I'm usually on put-juv-nonfic-books-away duty during my shifts because I love to do it and it keeps me occupied (thanks audhd brain)
The only thing you'll need to memorize for this activity is the Dewey Decimal number for Biographies: 92. It doesn't matter if it's a Hitler biography, an Obama biography, or the biography about Kate from Tates Bake Shop, it's always 92.
In libraries often there will be a call number on nonfiction books where you can find the dd number. They may look like 92 Kennedy, where the Dewey Decimal number is first, then the name. For the sake of I never got past algebra in hs, we are going to ignore the names.
Compared to other books, biographies are relatively easy to divide by.
Let's do an example class: What is "Aquatic Turtles" divided by "A Marvelous Life: the Amazing Story of Stan Lee"?
We know that "A Marvelous Life" must be a biography due to the fact that it is about Stan Lee's story. Therefore the divisor is 92.
"Aquatic Turtles" has a dd number of 639.392, making that the dividend.
Our equation comes out to 639.392÷92
(I'm going to round using scientific notation for the sake of keeping this equation clean)
The answer: A book on Turtles divided by a biography on Stan Lee is 6.9 Dewey Decimals.
Here's a smaller example for you to do on your own:
Donatello is reading up on rats in his local library when he stumbled across the book, "Rats, Love and History" by Hans Zinsser. He eventually gets burnt out on his research on rats and goes to find a book on famous chefs for Michaelangelo. He finds the book, "Call Me Chef, Dammit! : A Veterans Journey from the Rural South to the White House" by Chef Andre Rush in the biography section. While waiting in line to check out the books, Donatello decides to use his skills of Dewey Decimal Mathmaticals. The book on rats has a call number of 614.5262 Zinsser, while the book on Chef Andre Rush has a call number of 92 Rush.
If Donatello is dividing the book for Michaelangelo by the book for his personal research, what are the Dewey Decimal numbers?

I felt HostileSecUnit1 go into shutdown mode. It wasn't dead, it was just catastrophically damaged. [...] HostileSecUnit2 didn't have a chance to shut down. When ART-drone let go, it fell into pieces.

it is pretty bothersome that physicists and mathematicians use different notation for everything. it seems pointlessly difficult! we can't even agree on the variables for polar and azimuthal angle? (seriously, why can't we stick to polar φ and azimuthal θ)

Today's #YearOfHours #BookOfHours is Ms. Codex 1063, produced in England, probably London, perhaps for a member of a religious confraternity or community. The musical notation in the Office of the Dead is unusual, as is the absence of the prayers Obsecro te and O intemerata.
