Hopefully you can access this link, but if not, then google "The 15th century equivalent of your cat walking on your keyboard" that was in The Atlantic.

No doubt! I wonder if the pawprints were made during the writing, or after the manuscript was finished? If during, it shows a sense of humor and whimsey on the part of the scribe, otherwise you think he would have recopied the page. Of course, I suppose there's the possibility that paper was at a premium - not even one sheet could afford to be discarded.
