@Dadmin @dbellingradt "A pamphlet [...] would cost a penny or two. A labourer might earn as much as a shilling for a day's work in the seventeenth century.

And, of course, there were [...] religious and political communities where texts were read aloud." (Raymond, ed., The Oxford History of Popular Print Culture).

This month I'm beginning 2022 as the first Futurist in Residence at the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building. It's weird to think of myself as a futurist. I write a lot about the algorithms we're calling artificial intelligence (AI), but rather than deal with the humanlike science fiction version, I
@Sheril Sadly, this is fake history,
[...] After publishing, we heard from multiple scholars who disagreed with the framing, analysis and conclusions discussed in the article below. They argue, in fact, that contemporary depictions of witches originated in sources other than women brewers and that the transfer from women to men of the work of brewing, in various geographic and historical settings, came about for economic and labor reasons.

Brewster KahleDo "We now have all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips" as Niskanen Center said ? ^1
I would say not.
It is more like "The Truth Is Paywalled But The Lies Are Free"^2

"We now have all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips, but the social authority of that knowledge has fallen into embattled retreat while conspiracy theories and mass delusions fill the vacuum."
Dr Dan O’BrienIn my #introduction I mentioned mourning jewellery - examples like this ring remind the owner of a loved one but also their own mortality - here, a tiny, enamelled skull stares out from the diamond-shaped bezel.

A timepiece of seventeenth century Germany. A single-sheet item printed in red and black. A broadside drawing on the clock’s ubiquitous presence in early modern culture. Have a closer look at "Horologium Pietatis: Zwölff geistliche Betrachtungen...". #BookHistory
The broadside can be found at UB Erlangen (H61/EINBLATTDRUCK.A-I 35).
Follow me along when we look in detail at this (time)piece.

Hey #Fediverse, dear #Histodons, let there be more paper among us. This is the start of a series devoted to #PaperHistory - especially but not exclusively to the first European paper era starting around 1400 AD.
