After a long dry spell, over the next few weeks I hope to post several things, none of which are ready as yet. I am posting today because of excellent news received this morning, the Codex Calixtinus stolen from the Cathedral archive in Santiago de Compostela has been located and four persons, including an electrician who is an employee of the cathedral, have been arrested in a suburb of the city in relation to the theft. La Voz de Galicia the major local newspaper has a good overview of the recovery as does El Pais.
