A man of words made out of words. This printed carmen figuratum, in German Figurengedicht, shows Martin Luther as a figure made out of words. And the words form the three creeds used in the Lutheran tradition: the Nicene Creed, the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed.

Say hi. This is an example of how human labor will be remembered when all books are digitized and we all work with digital copies only. And maybe, hand on heart, this hand was intentionally raised to greet us from the past. #histodons #bookhistory #digitalhumanities #digitalhistory #digitization

If the binding is left uncovered, these books can be opened to 360°. #books #bookhistory #printinghistory #copticbinding

Back to #BooksOfHours, another miniature from the Houghton was added today, 2020HEM-79. Possibly from Sienna, later 15th C. It is a lovely MS, but rebound (17th C) and either then or later many leaves were removed. Some offices start in the middle, and folios have ink transfer from non-existent miniatures.

@litteraturejeunesse Je signale la parution toute fraîche de ce formidable essai de l'historienne Sophie Heywood, consacré à l'édition jeunesse en France pendant la guerre froide, avec un accent particulier mis sur la maison Hachette: Children’s Publishing in Cold War France: Hachette in the Age of Surveillance and Control. le résultat d'année de recherches! (le livre est cher, mais bonne nouvelle, on peut le lire en ligne gratuitement) https://magasindesenfants.hypotheses.org/15851 #EditionJeunesse #LitteratureJeunesse #bookhistory

The first known bound books occurred in India in the first century BCE. These books were made of palm leaves stitched together. These books don't last well but this is a 20th century example. #books #bookhistory #printinghistory

Integral to any office are books, defined as a collection of pages bound together. Scrolls, created of one long roll of paper wound around a central core, preceded the development of books. This is a 13th century Byzantine scroll. #books #bookhistory #printinghistory

Doing some research, and amused by the story of the handwritten card placed above the fireplace in Alyth Reading Room in 1858, telling people about an upcoming meeting there to discuss maybe founding a public library. Unusually for me who doesn’t easily visualise things, I now have a clear mental image of a cosy fireplace, with seats beside it, and an enigmatic handwritten card resting above. They got their library in the end. #BookHistory #ScottishHistory #Perthshire #Scotland #Libraries #Alyth

Il faut absolument que je vous partage la dernière pépite que nous avons trouvée #EnRéserve
Au menu: bibliophilie complètement barge, édition atypique, poésie ancienne et Félibres. Tout ça à la fois. Tout part d’un recueil japonais à reclasser, couvert d’une curieuse reliure en soie ornée de paons. Ma collègue repère le même motif sur une autre reliure de la collection. Bien vu ! La notice du catalogue est étique. Bon, bah on va regarder ça, alors…

A precious moment of full attention. The very moment you find something very special in your archival research or in your academic reading is pure gold, as curious #histodons do know. Awe can be found everywhere as the man in this 1627 oil painting by Rembrandt van Rijn demonstrates.

The suspicious looking guy with a moustache and a hat surely looks like a character from the comic Inspector Gadget. However, in original, he is part of an impressive capital (forming a "P") of a choral book from around 1500 from a workshop of Petrus Alamire.
