I deciphered some heavily abbreviated scholastic Latin pasted into a book binding and found Johannes Nider’s Praeceptorium divinae legis hiding in the flyleaves of a Thalbach devotional book.
Fragments really do have a place in intellectual history.

A blog post today on the Seelengärtlein (Hortulus animae), one of the hugely popular prayerbooks of the 16th century. Both a bit about how to find copies and a bit about indexing the thing. I love me a good spreadsheet! Oh, and there are woodcuts. But the Hellmouth is from a different print...

Ordered June 8th, 2008; received July 1st, 2024. The signed, numbered Incunabula "25th" (now "40th") anniversary edition of John Crowley's Little, Big.
That is the longest I've ever waited for a book order, and, honestly I'd pretty much given up on ever seeing it. But it's here, and it's beautiful!

Yet another example of #LibraryStampMadness... Someone did their best to hide the library stamp in a #bible from 1485.

We just finished an intensive introduction into #eScriptorium, the #opensource platform #OCR / #HTR at the PSL-week with lovely projects in Latin, French, German, Chinese, Vietnamese, ...
Lovely to discover a couple of new open generalized models trained by others:
#Latin #manuscripts and #incunabula 8th to 15th century.
https://zenodo.org/record/7234166#.Y4MCGuHMKpp
#French 16th to 21st century: https://zenodo.org/record/6657809#.Y4MCfuHMKpo
Finetuning on these will lead to quick success. Especially with the new PASSIM txt2txt alignment. -

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!

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
