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?

#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!

In journalism, one person’s pain is another’s profession.
Raymond SchrothThe purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of the exemplification process for people who are pursued as exemplars in the telling of a news story.
“exemplar”: a victim or eyewitness who provides a reaction or testimonial regarding a newsworthy event.#bookhistory #sociology #books #bookhistodons #writing #readingcommunity #writingcommunity #journalism #massmedia

Some more #BookHistory teaching—today, it’s our paper marbling workshop! We experimented with different papers to test out how well they took the ink and how the different colors behaved on varying surfaces. Some of the most beautiful effects turned out to be on colored paper, which allowed a very subtle jacquard-like finish. #bookhistodons #pedagogy

If you'd like to catch my conversation with #SocietyStreet2022 yesterday - about #journals, societies, and about the rollercoaster ride of funding scientific publishing - you can now listen on demand at
http://societystreet.org/events
(The video is 47 minutes, but you'd easily get the gist of the story of the changing relationship between #RoyalSociety and its journals in the first 30 mins)
(We're talking about this book: https://www.uclpress.co.uk/products/187262 )
