#histknow — Public Fediverse posts

Am internationalen #TagDesMeeres werfen wir einen Blick auf historische #Seekarten & wie diese ein Denken in globalen Zusammenhängen visualisierten:

Dass unser Account bei #Openbiblio wieder läuft, gibt uns gerade noch rechtzeitig die Gelegenheit, #Wikipedia zum 25. Geburtstag zu gratulieren – herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Schon vor 20 Jahren gab es bei uns einen Artikel zur Online-#Enzyklopädie, der inzwischen wohl als zeithistorische Quelle zu lesen ist:

▶ Maren Lorenz, Wikipedia. Zum Verhältnis von Struktur und Wirkungsmacht eines heimlichen Leitmediums, #WerkstattGeschichte 43/2006, https://werkstattgeschichte.de/abstracts/nr-43-maren-lorenz

I see History of Knowledge has migrated from WordPress.com to Hypotheses.org. Given all the nonsense that Automattic has been putting its clients through, I am glad. It should have a nice long life on that platform.

The current domain, https://historyofknowledge.net points or forwards there, although I don’t know if it will over the long term. Fortunately, the new domain pops right up on a DuckDuckGo search for “History of Knowledge blog” – https://historyofknowledge.hypotheses.org.

I fleshed out my site's portfolio page for the scholarly blogs that consumed much of my attention and creative energy from late 2016 to mid 2022. In particular, the section devoted to History of Knowledge grew because that is the site where I had the most latitude for independent initiative. https://markstoneman.com/portfolio/history-of-knowledge-blogs/ #HistKnow #AcademicBlogging #editing

@dbellingradt 👆Attn: #HistSci #HistKnow #InfoHistory folks.

@histodons That's a thematic folder to organize loose paper sheets: drafts, notes, letters, you name it. Folders were and are a handy tool of organizing paper knowledge. Battling the information revolution of #EarlyModernEurope meant very often: organizing your papers in thematic or chronological folders. As a knowledge field, #alchemy too was a paper business. #histodons #histknow

@histodons #Alchemy too was partly about storing. The box on the table is made of wood chips, and these boxes were #earlymodern storage options for fresh paper sheets, for letters, for paper drafts, and for small books. Being an alchemist was also about managing your writings, paper supply, and objects. Collectors and free thinkers alike needed boxes to arrange ideas and objects. In the painting, a distillation apparatus made of glass is stored next to a paper notebook. #histknow

I kinda feel bad that we referred to xitter several times in this piece, but those were more innocent times. The pandemic was raging with no immunizations in sight, and the orange one was calling federal agents to DC with no unit designations or names on their uniforms.

The Necessary Companion (in German "Der Nöthige Gefehrte") was a perpetual calendar published in 1675 Leipzig, Germany. The small pamphlet provided detailed information on how to use this #calendar: including 3 #volvelles to calculate correctly. This is a learning tool, to teach a bit of #astronomy for everyday usage.

#Eyeglasses were part of the material history of reading in early modern Europe, as this painting of 1403 (from Conrad von Soest) shows.

This is a slow moving thread for #histodons, a thread about how to read in the past, where to buy eyeglasses, and how to do with them in general. The hashtag is #HowToDoWithGlassesInThePast

Let's roll. #EarlyModernHistory #MediaHistory #BookHistory #HistKnow

Hi #histodons, all are welcome to this public lecture on March 21 at Lund University (also Zoom): "Entangled Perspectives: Media Echoes in a Communication History of Early Modern Europe"

Details: https://newhistoryofknowledge.com/2023/03/15/daniel-bellingradt-in-lund/

Expect translated almanacs, re-used woodblocks, wrong Irish soldiers, monster fighters with deformed necks, and a dive into useful media history theories. Also a man-eating half human and half camel Catholic will be shown.
