Is anyone on Mastodon knowledgeable about Tironian notes? I've got tentative readings of two headings in a 9th c. Text from the Loire Valley, which mix Tironian notes and Latin charaters. But there are 13,000 T. Notes in Schmitz, many of which look very similar. Thanks!!

New #introduction: I’m Oschinsky Research Associate at Cambridge Univ Library, Fellow of Girton College, & a #MedievalManuscripts scholar & cataloguer. My research mainly focuses on later #medieval European #manuscripts with an emphasis on #quantitative methods, materiality, & provenance. I’m about to publish a book on #parchment & have started writing another on legal manuscripts. 📜🪶📚

I went to the Maimonides exhibit at the Center for Jewish History (again) yesterday and saw a new page. (Lots of page turns recently, so it's like a new exhibit!)
Can't get over the gold decoration on the lines here..😍

Book and paper history bubble: I came across a late 18th-century almanach-style notebook in the @labnf today which has a metal stylus (I don’t know whether this is the original one) and is supposedly made of a special paper that can be written on with any metal point. If writing with the provided stylus you are supposed to be able to erase. Marketed as a novelty - but it is? Anyone know more about this or where I might look for further clues?

Over 30,000 archival items associated with scientific papers presented to the #RoyalSociety (London) are now available on the new 'Science in the Making' archive, covering 1665-1949.
https://makingscience.royalsociety.org/Includes original manuscripts submitted to the RS; correspondence; lots of #images (many never published, and in colour); and >14,000 #peerreview reports.
Essential browsing for historians of science, and not just science. (Search '#mozart'!)

#Introduction again since I moved servers to here! I'm Alex, a PhD student in Information Science at Indiana University. I study book history, especially booksellers and private libraries in early modern Navarre/Spain. I'm interested in the intersections between book history and infosci, bringing GIS, digital humanities, and quantitative methods to book history. Whenever I graduate, I want to be a DH librarian! I'm also the bibliographer for the Chymistry of Isaac Newton project and for SHARP News! #BookHistory #DigitalHumanities #GIS #Data #Libraries #bookhistodons

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/

Oh, I take it back: not really a 'review', but 'A history of scientific journals' has just had a mention in this week's Nature! (=one more evidence of a human reader!)
But my general point holds: dissemination/circulation of books is vastly improved by #oa, but I'm not yet convinced it is making much difference to response/engagement for books (as against articles). But we shall see. It's still early days. And books do take time to read, after all.

Great example of #EarlyModern almanacs
as everyday objects.Christophe Plantin annotated the verso side of this almanac he had printed for 1577. He added the date 17 October 1576, and wrote down a list of the proofreaders who worked for him at the time below some calculations!
