    Faded, nearly invisible verses and drawings were recently discovered in the oldest medieval manuscript written entirely in Welsh. Written circa 1250, Cambridge professors recently examined “The Black Book of Carmarthen” under different light spectra and found many annotations via past readers. This is extremely exciting because we can see what  medieval and after thought about the text.
