# Week 8 - Codicology This week we will be thinking about how to describe a medieval manuscript properly and completely. After discussing how to do so, we will spend much of the class in small groups with with Carleton's two manuscripts. By the end of the class, you should have a sense of what sort of details to look for in seeking to catalogue your own folios. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://medievalbook.gitbook.io/digitizing-medieval-archives/week-8.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
