Hey #Bookstodon - I am in a bit of a reading rut and need some #recommendations to help me get out. Do you have any good recommendations for historical #fiction? I would even take some well-written #history or #travel books. My only restriction is that I would like recommendation not focused on the United States (but I am open if it is good). Thanks!

New YT video is up!
I had a conversation with one of my best friends about his experiences as a guard at the Met in NYC, and some of his favorite artifacts. He's a history nerd too.
(Though my audio didn't save, so there are title screens dispersed within to indicate what Mike was asked. He did 90% of the talking anyway.)
Enjoy!

@overholt Oh, what a fascinating work! 🤩 Making art books myself, I am always amazed to see ancient forms of books or the "Breverl" as a popular form of book amulets. https://sterncenter.library.jhu.edu/early-book-collections/reliquary-book-amulet/

A Reliquary “Book Amulet," ca. 1760 “Book amulets” (German, breverl; Italian, brevi), were normally associated with conventual manuscripts made by nuns for sale to pilgrims as talismans against all kinds of afflictions and dangers, both corporeal and spiritual. The most common of these
@koantig Now as you tell it ... as children, we read Donald Duck cartoon stories in different voices into a recorder like this (they only had a fix primitive microphone), and friends could copy the tapes if they wanted to listen to our first podcast. 😁 My recorder was less luxury, they were very expensive and a gift for very important celebrations often paid by several people.

Écrire quotidiennement sur l'histoire des #modelevivant. Passer des journées à éplucher des sources pour des miettes d'infos. En faire du savoir à partager humblement, des années durant, pour trois lecteurs perdus (dont une part qui vient simplement pour un bout de fesse). Et voir soudain des blaireaux qui ont créé leur site il y a deux jours truster déjà le référencement avec leur contenu nauséeux, à rallonge, vomi par une #IA.

Étonnement du soir : les sculptures en sucre réalisées pour le banquet offert par Francesco Ratta en 1693 à Bologne.
Les sculpteurs qui ont travaillé à ces sculptures sont G. Mazza, S. Sarti et G. B. Zaccarini. Les salles du banquet étaient décorées de façon somptueuse : tentures auxquelles sont accrochés de nombreux petits miroirs, centre de table impressionnant et, donc, sculptures en sucre de grandes dimensions (1m de haut environ).
Le livret qui conserve la mémoire de ces décors est là : https://digital.library.yale.edu/catalog/2018813
