Help in transcriptions

I think the blog is working very nicely, and I'm very impressed by the standards of scholarly accuracy in transcription. I have one practical suggestion: since sometimes more than one pair of eyes can be helpful, if transcribers could alert us to problematic readings, we could then offer our own interpretations and see if they made any sense. For example, in MS J, there's a strange reading at the beginning of line 8 on the 2nd page. Jane reads it as 'Shedy" but I wonder whether it might read "Study" (with the initial long "s"). Of course, one always has to be careful of readings that seem to make too much sense (i.e., our desire to force the text to produce what we want it to), but maybe in this case it might work. As you mount your transcripts, could you flag moments that seem particularly opaque? Also remember that you can zoom in on a difficult patch: sometimes that can help.

Good luck with it all.
