I am a historian of the book and study the design of medieval manuscripts, including paleography (handwriting) and codicology (material design). I am interested in the relation between form and function in premodern books: why do they look the way they do?

I will share images of rare books and manuscripts, mostly my own pics. Will boost news and interesting info around old books. Random musings around my passions - and some #StreetArt pics - coming your way too.

@erik_kwakkel @spamless I’m a collector of antique Japanese manuscripts and documents (Meiji period and earlier), and I also manage several groups for collectors of the same, mostly tracking Japanese online auctions. I have a similar interest in European manuscripts / documents… looking forward to your posts
