I discovered an obscure novel from 1914 about the life of a #stradivarius #violin. Some characters are fictional but quite a few of the musicians in the novel are historical, so I wrote out a timeline for it. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/05/life-story-of-stradivarius-violin.html #bookreview #antiquarian #GermanLiterature #stradivari #Tartini #Paganini #Veracini #Corelli

Huh - what do I see in the corner of my eye - is it - an old volume...? No - a pretty recent one (2018): this #LiteraryStudies study by Patrick J. Murphy connects the dots between the #MedievalStudies of #MRJames & his classic "antiquarian" #ghoststories 👻

💢 I saw a thing online which somehow infuriated me and I wrote a short post about it: https://norsk-exlibris.no/.
📚 💰 It's not an important topic unless you are extremely interested in Norwegian Exlibris and pricing of antiquarian books on second-hand private sellers' online market places.

This is a fascinating analysis on the gradual development of medieval thought focusing on particular on the rise of the ascending theory of governance and how mediaeval thought far from being fossilised and an antiquarian provides the genetic link modern notions of democracy and civic rights.

Back in 2007/8, during research access to the National Museum of Ireland collections for the origins of Irish red deer project (published Carden et al., 2012 bit.ly/3g2CRhm), to the antiquarian archived animal bones excavation from many different Irish caves which were excavated during late 1800s to mid-1900s, I saw mis-identified red deer bones. These were labelled as pig, sheep, horse and reindeer bones. #IrishCaveBones #iSciComm #SciCommIE #iSci

@Tony_Meredith
When I first read your question I thought a connection improbable; after some reflection & googling that changed!
The Wikipedia page on #JaneAusten was helpful, & thinking about the conversational & subscription networks of a force of nature like #JohnNichols - Jane's father & #WarrenHastings might well have been typical of the customers in this age of gentleman #bibliophiles and #antiquarians?

There‘s a bunch of book thieves going around prestigious #libraries and swapping #Pushkin #FirstEditions for (so the library officials say) high quality facsimiles. The @stabi_berlin
has been targeted , also national libraries in Poland and the Baltic states.
It’s a wild story, and the forgers’ skills seem to be very remarkable.
