Martin Schongauer has done some griffonmaxxing ! The griffon of classical antiquity was half lion, half eagle. Schongauer’s griffon is a blend of eagle, rooster, and bull – and isn’t this griffon owning his look! 1/ #earlymodern #medieval #Renaissance #printhistory #arthistory #monsters

#printhistory friends: We have an elementary school class coming into @[email protected] as part of their unit on the American Revolution & I’m wondering if there’s something related to kids in the 18th century we could try to reproduce on the press? Ideas beyond the Declaration, &c.?

Jeudi et vendredi prochain, à Versailles, nous organisons avec Anne Rochebouet un colloque intitulé "Textes, livres et discours à l'épreuve de l'imprimé".

L'idée est de se demander ce que le nouveau média fait à l'organisation des savoirs et des discours médiévaux dans la deuxième moitié du XVe et le début du XVIe siècle. Les questions de mise en page, de mise en image, d'évolutions ou de continuités linguistiques et matérielles seront envisagées par les participants, issus de différentes disciplines (histoire, lettres, linguistique, histoire de l'art...). Ping @teol03 🙂

L'entrée est libre, mais l'inscription est obligatoire !

Public opinion didn’t originate online.

It began when printed words stepped out of workshops and into shared space — allowing people to form judgments together.

Fascinating:
What survives of early Hungarian print?

And that's it! Sent off the new training set and hopefully improve the issues I have encountered!
I will also use this model for the 1728 print. It's a different printing press, but overall, the two prints are very much alike, and so is the #Fraktur type they use. #Transkribus #EthicaComplementoria #HTR #EarlyModern #PrintHistory
