@ahrcpress @RL_UK

From all the #ahrcimps a HUGE thank you to all who have explored the margins, intersections and edges of knowledge and enriched us with your discovery. Here’s to more in 2023!
And last: CUL MS Gg.1.10 f.45r – a diagram showing the predicted extent of the land and sea in the parts of the world not yet explored or known by western Europeans.
Next: CUL MS Gg.1.10 f. 41v – a diagram showing the hospitable and inhospitable climate zones of the earth: the central red band is too hot, and the upper and lower black zones are too cold, but the intermediate zones are (supposedly!) pleasant to live in.
First up: CUL MS Gg.1.10, f. 33v – a diagram showing the earth and seven major celestial bodies (the moon, Mercury, Venus, the sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) and their courses relative to one another through the zodiac.

Throughout the festive season and through to 4 Feb (立春), the infrastructure and major programmes team at the Arts and Humanities Research Council #ahrc will be showcasing highlights from the UK’s #libraries #archives and #specialcollections.

To see us into 2023 and to celebrate humanity’s infinite curiosity and thirst for knowledge, 3 marginal drawings from #CuriousCures project led by James Freeman at Cambridge University Library.
