Super interesting workshop in the Plantin-Moretus Museum by prof. Pedro Rueda Ramirez on the printer Tomás López de Haro, connecting Leyden, Antwerp, Seville and New Spain in the 17th century! #EarlyModern #BookHistory

#AGoldenWorld is out in exactly one month! Please consider pre-ordering for a friend or library. The book is the culmination of my decade-long obsession with researching traces of the Americas in Renaissance London: www.faber.co.uk/product/9780... #earlymodern #Tudors

Today's saint was a 10th-century nun and bookbinder! Scroll all the way down last year's thread on her for great pics in a late manuscript and great ligatures in an early one. #nuntastic #medievalsky

Delighted to be able to share a first teaching and research resource relating to The Firearm Revolution: a compilation of links to primary sources - visual, objects and translations of texts that I cite in the book #academia #earlymodern #skystorians

Look what just arrived!! Advanced author copies of my next book. I’m so thrilled to see it in the flesh - 5 years & hundreds of transcribed household bills later! #17thc #18thc #earlymodern #Herstory

Congratulations to former @ccshistorycatholic.bsky.social PhD researcher Scholastica Jacob, who has published a book based on her @durhamtheology.bsky.social thesis about the return of Benedictine nuns to England after the French Revolution. #skystorians #CathHist #history #nuntastic #catholicism

Calling all historians, we might have a purposeful skill for the folks over at the @newberrylibrary.bsky.social - transcribing handwritten texts in their collection. It could make for an excellent assignment I should think. www.chicagomag.com/chicago-maga...

Freelance work is coming in for the summer with people's research fund pots needing using up; so do contact me via www.joanneedge.co.uk sooner rather than later for your archive/transcription/editing needs! #MedievalSky #EarlyModern

Update: I found the reference I had in mind! Alison Weber's "The Three Lives of the Vida" in Women, Texts and Authority in the Early Modern Spanish World (2003) Early versions of the manuscript circulated, even among Discalced nuns--which is what I was most curious about #nuntastic #earlymodern

#nuntasic and Catholic Reformation and #earlymodern folks: I know I've read before about Teresa of Avila's Life circulating in manuscript form (and here I mean beyond just her confessors, who of course had access) before it was officially published, but does anyone have a reference to this info?

Giving this query a boost. #earlymodern folks looking at accounting practices: any insights?

I'm hoping to propose a panel for the SCS on the 1570s, that most pivotal decade in the later Reformation. If you're interested in joining me, send me a DM. #reformazing

Thanks for posting this! #earlymodern

My article on Queen Anne’s wardrobe has just been published OA. I provide a qualitative & quantitative overview of her extensive wardrobe accounts (incl makers & suppliers) & show how fashion influenced her representation! #18thc #17thc #earlymodern onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Super niche #earlymodern query: has anyone ever worked with account books that are records of salaries received by specific individuals? I've a prioress and her steward both making these payments. The individual verifies receipt and then signs. The book is a running tally of these disbursements.

I can take no credit here - congratulations to @racheljwillie.bsky.social and @spparkle.bsky.social! If you work on #earlymodern sound in any capacity do consider Sonance for your article projects! And if you'd like to review any recent books in the field please do give me a shout! 🗃️
