What do pirates in Madagascar, a red knitted jumper, the sunken warship Vasa, captivity and colonialism, and the Prize Papers have in common? They're all part of our new online lecture series "Ships & Seafaring 1500–1800" organized by the German Maritime Museum and the Prize Papers Project. Join us weekly on Mondays, 1pm CET, on Zoom. I am happy to host this series together with my colleague Nele Popp from Oldenburg University.

10 November 2025 – 30 March 2026 – on Zoom.

We start with an absolute highlight: The Amity Papers, 1690 – A Roundtable with Prof. Jane Ohlmeyer, Prof. Tom Truxes and Prof. John Shovlin.

Monday, 10 November 3-4pm (!), 9-10am EST due to the time difference.

@overholt I suppose every good bookseller knows who you are... Do you ever go incognito to these fairs (or even in disguise)?

Hermodorus le poëte avoit fait des vers en l'honneur d'Antigonus, où il l'appelloit fils du Soleil : et luy au contraire : Celuy, dit-il, qui vuide ma chaize percée, sçait bien qu'il n'en est rien.

@NFerey Depuis un an ou deux la base AFCEL est accessible publiquement. Mais récemment il y a eu des ennuis avec les images et des questions sur son avenir - les connaisseurs (voir groupe FB sur ex-libris héraldiques) se demandaient même si la BnF ne pourrait pas s'en charger...
