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...

🔴 **I, Estellina: Jewish women and early printing**

_“Today’s blogpost explores the stories of three Jewish women living and working in Europe in the 15th century – Estellina Conat, Teresa de Lucena and Doña Reyna Mendes – highlighting books from the British Library’s Hebrew incunabula (15th-century printed books) and 16th-century printed collections.”_

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!
