A little bit of a personal touch left behind. De censuris Ecclesiasticis tractatus. Leiden, 1608 #NationalLibraryOfLithuanis #earlymodern #printculture
A close-up photo of an old book page numbered 267, showing Latin text printed in black ink. In the upper right margin, there is a visible black fingerprint smudge, suggesting someone with ink-stained fingers touched the page. The paper has a rough texture and slightly browned edges.
