Quote of the day

"Here is nothing missing, but a cat urinated on this during a certain night. Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night in Deventer and because of it many others [other cats] too. And beware well not to leave open books at night where cats can come."
 
It seems medieval scribes had their own version of "The dog ate my homework"...
