The comedies of centuries ago don’t always work for modern audiences, but this one goes down a treat. Several good women’s roles too. Have a listen! https://audioboom.com/posts/8944549-the-wise-woman-of-hogston-by-thomas-heywood-live-full-cast-audio-recording

Really enjoyed the new-to-me story of the "Lieutenant Nun: The Life of Catalina de Erauso" -- crossdressing, tempestuous lifestyle, and fundamentally flawed (the murderous git)... #nuntastic #EarlyModern

Le colloque à Copenhague a été l’occasion de découvrir Noémie Ndiaye, prof à l’Université de Chicago. Elle a fait une intervention particulièrement passionnante et brillante.

Je conseille de découvrir ses sujets de recherche, autour du théâtre de l’époque moderne et de la représentation des minorités, et notamment des Noirs et des Noires en Europe à l’époque moderne.
Son second ouvrage paraît bientôt : The Whiteness between Us: Early Modern Playbooks of Racial Triangulation

Bref, je suis fan !

This putto in raised arms pose celebrating is part of an #earlymodern pamphlet - a titlepage woodcut. Likely printed in the 16th century, and announcing itself as "fein lustig unnd kurtzweilig zulesen". #bookhistory

So the satire pamphlet came up with a different reading of this Latin message, and it suggests the reading of VICI MALUM as
"Vici Maximilianum" (see the image). And this means "I have conquered Maximilian". Take this Habsburg Europe, be warned! #earlymodern #skystorians

The longer message was complex and interwoven into a story of prognostication in #earlymodern print.

A prayerbook rubric might say “say this before bed” or “stand before a crucifix.” Either way, it’s doing more than labeling the next prayer.

Thinking about rubrics using Lorraine Daston’s supple rules

How did early modern utopias reimagine society and nature? Answers can be found in the case of the Philadelphia’s green spaces to mining ventures—that tested alternative models of living, where humans, animals, and resources coexisted in radical ways.

Douglas Kay & Martin Philip – AKA the folk duo The Sorries – recorded a podcast about “Killiecrankie”, discussing the publication of the song, the figures & events which inspired it, & how it played a pivotal role in bringing the pair of them together

Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Whare hae ye been sae brankie, O?
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Came ye by Killiecrankie, O?

—“Killicrankie”, from James Hogg’s JACOBITE RELICS OF SCOTLAND (1819).

The Battle of Killiecrankie ⚔️ was fought #OTD, 27 July, 1689. A Jacobite force led by Ewan Cameron of Lochiel & Viscount Dundee defeated a Scottish government army commanded by Hugh Mackay

This week on #HoPWaG we look at Pierre Bayle, and ask whether his Dictionary is supposed to lead the reader towards skepticism or a more profound Christian faith. (Maybe both?)

For anyone wishing to read John Milton’s great English language epic poem “Paradise Lost,” or who have perhaps once read it but didn’t quite understand it, this recent New Books Network / Writ Large #podcast featuring Zachary Davis interviewing Prof. Erik Gray about #Milton, the poem, and its #history provides an excellent introduction and overview well suited to all interested. https://newbooksnetwork.com/on-john-miltons-paradise-lost #bookstodon #literature #poety #earlymodern

#introduction @histodons @renaissance

Hello! I am a PhD candidate in the #history of #earlymodern science, art, & #MaterialCulture at Columbia University. My dissertation focuses on #screws, screw-makers, and the screw-making industry in early modern Nuremberg and explores how goldsmiths assembled works of art with screws. I'd love to connect with early modernists and other historians, esp. those interested in #metalworking #HoS #craft, material culture, art history & #HistoricalReconstruction

#histodons, the ERC project #Pamphlets & #Patrons would be happy to have all interested #histodons and enthusiastics of the #earlymodern join their hybrid workshop series:

"Reinterpreting the #GrandSiècle: Courtly Games&Writing Practices in #EarlyModern #France.

That is, if you can make it at 10am-12 CET. Or if you can caffeinate yourself enough to join us from across time-zones!

#Introduction: I go by Atlas on the internet, and I research and write about #personalknowledgemanagement (or #PKM) from a historical perspective – particularly #notetaking.

I have wider interests in #bookhistory #manuscripts #historyofknowledge #intellectualhistory #libraryhistory #digitalhumanities #medieval #earlymodern #renaissance

I'm not a professional, just somebody who adds more to my Zotero library than I can ever hope to read.
