If anybody would like to, or knows anybody who might like to, do a small amount of paid research work for me at the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh, I would be very glad to hear from them.

The Times They Are a-Changin' In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII moved the calendar. Rebecca Hirt (@kit.edu), in our blog, explores the impact that this shift had on almanacs. You can read it here: www.ustc.ac.uk/news/when-te... #almanacs #earlymodern

[#DidYouKnow?] Did you know how popular collections of Greek maxims were in the in the early modern period? @nconstantinidou.bsky.social and Eleni Leontidou have just completed a chapter on this topic, to be published next year #WatchThisSpace #humanism #Theognis #GrECI

Does anyone recognize this 15th-century coat of arms (Italian?)

HAD to put the bookplate there, didn't you...

A wonderful page from a Parisian Book of Hours (Horae Beatae Mariae Virgine, 1490-1510) with and unusual floral border in the style of Bruges-Ghent. I love it! 😍 #bookhistory

Happy birthday to @bodleian.ox.ac.uk, which first opened its doors #otd in 1602. 423 years young today!

What a day! Had a great time hearing all these specialists talk about the self-evident involvement of women in the book production. Now time for dinner at the most beautiful location at the Samenloop restaurant housed in the former Maiden’s House of Antwerp!

www.bbc.com/news/article... Nottingham university is where I taught my first ever course, as French lectrice in Trent Building ... from day one I was hooked, and loved Academia. Oh Academia, you never love us back. Such cruel news.

Furthermore, a live discussion on these topics will take place during a local event, organised at the @ucy1.bsky.social, to mark the project's end, on Wednesday, 10 December. @uio.no @nconstantinidou.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

[#Didyouknow?] 🏛️ From public institutions and artistic works to ordinary material culture, echoes of Greek heritage are deeply embedded in Europe’s urban, artistic, political, and cultural fabric. For more this topic : www.europeana.eu/en/stories/a...

‘Women’s traces of involvement in the #earlymodern book trade are there in the archives, just sitting there waiting to be reconnected with research.’ - Opening keynote lecture of Susan Broomhall perfectly capturing the essence of our conference Women & The Household in the Early Modern Book Trade!

This frontispiece of Hubert Goltzius’ “Les Images de tous les empereurs” (Antwerpen, 1557) is an early form of multi color printing (Chiaroscuro woodcuts), here shown in 3 and 2 colors. What an artist! #bookhistory

A Sermon in a Village Church c. 1630 by Peter Paul Rubens (Met Museum) A very rare depiction of preaching in an 'ordinary' parochial setting for this period and a real delight to see. The view is that he worked this up from a life sketch.

Back in Innsbruck, my thoughts go to last week’s GrECI concluding conference “Hellenism in Early Modern Europe” in Nicosia. Grateful for the opportunity to present my research on Erasmus’ Adagia in such an inspiring setting.
