This episode epitomizes our approach to discussing films. We're not about nitpicking what a movie gets "right" from source material, but rather we unpack how such differences reflect our current culture & selves. Thanks @hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social for the talk and @realgdt.bsky.social for the film!

The cone lists Ramose’s titles, including two interesting ones, in column 3 (and highlighted in the second image with a blue box). These titles are ir.ty-nswt “eyes of the King of Upper Egypt” and anx.wy-bi.ty “ears of the King of Lower Egypt”. (2/2)

Dr Marina Escolano-Poveda 🌊🪔 @hypatiaheuresis.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

This funerary cone belonged to a royal scribe called Ramose, who lived during the reign of Taharqa (25th Dynasty). The name of the king appears in a cartouche in the fourth column, followed by that of Ramose. Both are identified as mAa-xrw “justified”, indicating that they were deceased. (1/2)

A few days ago, I found a #manicule on the margin of my copy of Giambattista della Porta’s De Furtivis Literarum Notis (1563), and I asked for bibliography that would allow me to learn more about manicule typologies. Several people recommended Sherman’s Used Books. Thanks a lot! 📚 #bibliophile

☞ I have a special thing for manicules. What was my surprise yesterday, as I was exploring my new book, when I found this little manicule! I’m in love! By the way, are there any typological studies of manicules that could allow me to date it? #bibliophile #manicules

Today, in Marina’s cabinet of curiosities and library, two new additions: a first edition (1563) of Giambattista della Porta’s ‘De furtivis literarum notis’, an early modern treatise on cryptography complete with three working volvelles and many diagrams; and a wax cylinder for a phonograph.

If you, like me, are a book collector and happen to be in Liverpool, do check this place out: reidofliverpool.co.uk Plenty of second-hand bargains, and pretty interesting Classics stuff too. I got myself this recent 800-page Loeb (incl. Parmenides & Empedocles) today for v reasonable price.

💫 Thoroughly enjoying the longer sunny afternoons at the scriptorium, and getting to use some of my astral instruments to map the data I’m working on, like my replica of the 15th c. astrological volvelle at @hsmoxford.bsky.social, made by the incredibly talented Ukrainian engineer Master Terebrus.

On Tuesday at the NYPL I could see their Gutenberg Bible. I own a facsimile of the Göttingen copy. While the printed text is the same in both, illumination and rubrics where still handwritten, and notable differences can be seen in the same pages of the New York copy and mine. #bibliophile
