#onmydesktoday is a big and timely book about European communication by the great Joad Raymond Wren. Exploring a world of #earlymodern newsmongers, translators and postmasters, Joad highlights that news moved and were shared, and that news binds us together. Good news for #skystorians.

Fantastic post on the blog today by Joe Black, who discusses Lady Bindloss's booklist--evidence of what books she bought, how she ordered them from London, and even how she shelved them by color earlymodernfemalebookownership.wordpress.com/2025/08/20/l... #EarlyModern #HerBook

Happy pub day to The Island of Hermaphrodites, translated by Kathleen P. long. Long offers new audiences a satirical romp through a world of absurdist power—one that feels politically salient today. Access the full text for free online asu.pressbooks.pub/the-island-o...

Little girl wreaks havoc in parents' cabinet. And she's got a pretzel! And a dog! Can't help loving this painting by Sebastian Stosskopf of Strasbourg.

YES! Always very proud about the extraordinary scholarship AS WELL AS the extraordinary collegiality of the @srsrensoc.bsky.social gang. #RenSoc25

Congratulations @craigclunas.bsky.social! So glad you got the grant to support images - it does seem that we have moved away from the movement of a few years ago to make images free for academic books.

Excited to set up tents in Bristol for a week, as @evelynwelch.bsky.social’s wonderful welcome made clear: a fascinating town in the #earlymodern as well as modern period! #RenSoc25

At the University of Bologna today for a meeting of the Coimbra group of European Universities. Great talks and a sharing of challenges and perspectives. But best of all...the Rector has a 16thc portrait of Gaspare Tagliacozzi in his office, which features his treatise on rhinoplasty. #earlymodern

And in other news...the rambling rector roses are spectacular this year!

If you have an extra €700,000, you should buy this signed and dated work by Louyse Moillon (1610-1696), painted when she was just 19. The figure is ok, but the fruit - her real specialty - is exquisite www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6...
