Dr. Peterson has said that holding that Newtonian notebook brought tears to his eyes. He's a very sensitive man, fully aware of the golden legacy of western European achievement. It's a holy relic!!!

Yes, I wondered about that too. But this would be at the discretion of the university, particularly when an international academic is a visiting Fellow (which I think he is now).Originally posted by Megan View PostI'm surprised Dr. Peterson isn't wearing cloth gloves when handling such rare artefacts.
This reminded me of something....John Eliot Gardiner reading/touching original texts associated with Bach, including scores, without gloves: at 11:45 here and elsewhere in this documentary:

That phrasing would have saved us a lot of trouble.
