#onmydesktoday: a transregional focus upon (Armenian) diasporic mobility and entangled bookmaking in #earlymodern Europe. A nice read. Recommended for #bookhistory.

The cover of Early Modernity and Mobility. Port Cities and Printers across the Armenian Diaspora, 1512-1800 from Sebouh David Aslanian (Yale 2023).

Make future book historians happy: annotate your books, write into books, use them, scribble, draw, make witty or unreadable comments. #bookhistory

I am stunned that Professor John Edmunds’ revelation at #CovidInquiry this week that much of the loss of 20,000-25,000 lives in Autumn 2020 could have been avoided if Boris Johnson had listened to scientific advice is NOT headline news and front cover of every news outlet in UK.

#Earlymodern books were more than just reading material. Yesterday I visited the Maurits Sabbe Library at KU Leuven again where Lieve Watteeuw showed me this unique hollowed out book printed in the Officina Plantiniana in 1589 with relics inside! I'm in awe 🤩

The title page facing the endleaf with a pasted in engraving. The title reads 'Den Reghel, ende het testament onses heyligen vaders Francisci'. The imprint reads 'Antwerpen, by de weduwe van Christoffel Plantijn. 1589'.

Hollowed out part with relics on the left in an enclosed garden composition and the names of the different saints listed below. An a velvet cover which can open to show more relics.

Slowly getting there with Dutch. I enjoyed being able to use some of it on my last trip to Antwerp 😀

Enjoying cuddles with this one while catching up with admin tasks. No original prints out to add to the corpus of cat print additions to editions… #musicalbookhistory #bookhistory #catsinacademia #workingfromhome

The frustration when despite taking over 8000 photos on a recent archival trip, I find I need another couple of hundred….
