"Because texts were read aloud these marks often indicated how long the reader should pause at those points, but they could also be used like modern punctuation to indicate sense."

This was the thing that stuck out at me--really, the punctuation of manuscripts (or lack thereof) shouldn't be carried over since this book is meant to be experienced in a completely different way than most MS were. Reproducing the punctuation conventions, such as they were, just seems gimmicky and as though the author doesn't really know much about pre-printing-press book culture. If I'd been his editor, i would have advised against it for just that reason!

Thanks for bringing this book into the limelight, though. it could be a very interesting subject of discussion for those of us who study medievalism.
