The Morgan Library - The Book of Marvels
"Several stories in the Book of Marvels reflects an interest in merchants, trade, and luxury goods. Such accounts often focus on the difficulties and dangers of acquiring precious materials such as gems or spices in faraway lands. A popular example relates to the origins of cinnamon, believed to come from the nests of the mythical cinnamologus birds of Arabia."

Es gab vor gut einem Jahr eine Ausstellung zu #Enheduana und ihrem historischen Kontext in der #MorganLibrary in New York . Der Link führt zu vielen Ressourcen. Das Video zur Ausstellung ist schön & informativ. Man sieht ihre Texte in Keilschrift & Statuetten sumerischer Frauen. Das hat mir gut gefallen.

The Morgan Library recently acquired a rare, fragmentary copy of the Ars moriendi blockbook, printed in 1467–69. Incredibly, the Morgan already held the 9 leaves missing from this singular copy. Their acquisition reunites the two parts, thus forms the only extant complete copy #books #MorganLibrary

One for #LibrarianMastodon - did you know that Harney & Sons makes a Bella da Costa Greene-themed tea? It may have her boss in the pic on the tin, but here for this.
May need to pick up more next time I’m in NYC, recently re-discovered among my tea hoard and it’s so good.

“She Who Wrote” at the Morgan Library.
