If you're at a #Scottish #university, believe in #openaccess, and have a monograph nearly finished and not yet under contract, then...
18th January is the deadline for the first call for monographs from the new Scottish Universities Press @[email protected]
Monograph must be nearly completed (i.e. to be delivered later this year). An open call for other monographs will follow in February. See https://www.sup.ac.uk/

💸 💸 💸 question for #manuscriptstudies and #bookhistory tooters:
How much does it typically cost to restore a paper manuscript in overall bad shape? (e.g., with pages damaged because of humidity and ink corrosion)

My latest article, "Bloodstained Books in Renaissance Sicily: The Library of Matteo Barresi, Marquis of Pietraperzia," is out! Incredibly grateful to I Tatti Studies in the Italian Renaissance for hosting this side project of mine—which triangulates book collecting, princely fantasies & murder in sixteenth-century Sicily.

(Get in touch if you don't have access and would like to read it! I'll send you a DM with a copy.)

Queens of Jerusalem tells the story of an extraordinary, trailblazing dynasty of royal women who ruled the medieval Middle East (or Outremer), and how they persevered through instability to seize greater power.

As promised, pivoting further from #WWI & #KuK ever more toward #BookHistory for the #BookHistodons. The previous post/toot involved Georg Jilovsky (Jiří Jílovský)
The #Czech-#Jewish artist who came to maturity in the late Austro-Hungarian Empire was known for his elegant & realistic depictions of Prague--but also Art Nouveau & Art Deco. He survived multiple #Nazi #ConcentrationCamps
& resumed his career after the war, dying in 1958.https://www.jewishmuseum.cz/en/program-and-education/exhibits/archive-exhibits/338/

What can make my day excellent?
I'm #dogandcat person - so near the pets, reading #maritime stories, enjoying #pipesmoking, scrolling #bwphotography, trying to #cooking worldwide national dishes and finally sipping #melange in some #Vienna quiet place, with the sound of Brigitte Engerer performing #Chopin can make everything better.
Well, boomer stuff mostly.

Rejoice #BookHistory #Manuscripts Studies #palaeography #paleography #incunabula etc. scholars: there is now a #BookHistodons group you can follow: @bookhistodons
A group is a handle/account you can follow which gathers and boosts all Mastodon posts mentioning the group. (NB: You must mention the group, @bookhistodons It won’t grab posts with just the hashtag alone.) Enjoy—& spread the word!

In a rare instance (ba dum tiss) of timely insight, I've changed instances to #hcommons before making too many posts! I suppose reintroductions are in order.
I'm a PhD candidate studying the sociology and structure of the #RareBookTrade specifically focusing on #manuscripts , #fragmentology , and #bookbreaking. Here's hoping those tags fill up more! My background is in #materiality and #ManuscriptStudies, and I'm a private librarian by day. Part of #medievodons and #BookHistodons. I mostly post about #HeritageCrime of various forms, plus some photographic experimentation (and cats, of which I have two).
Pleased to meet you all!

#MedievalStudies, and #BookHistory, and #ManuscriptStudies—oh my!
Within just a day and a bit,
• over five dozen Book #Histodons and #manuscript scholars have added their handles to the #BookHistodons list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T-IUl72xlbEcaclP7TUA8kgrhDTVSrMwwsi5iIIfsow/edit?usp=sharing
• nearly five dozen medievalists have added their handles to the #Medievodons list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10OdDb5R0u-IQ331Xpom6X6fsArdJvXFt1X5K2dLudhU/edit?usp=sharing
Check out both lists—find colleagues!—and add yourself -
Inspired by #Histodons , I made a #BookHistory Mastodon list, so that all of us #manuscripts #palaeography #incunabula #typography etc. people can find each other.
You can see the new #BookHistodons list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T-IUl72xlbEcaclP7TUA8kgrhDTVSrMwwsi5iIIfsow/edit?usp=sharing
