The Historia naturale (di Caio Plinio Secondo, tradocta di lingua latina in fiorentina per Christophoro Landino) is filled with gorgeously detailed illustrations. This fishy little number is a particularly lovely (and rather relaxing) one.
The Creatures of the sea depicted in an initial 'H'(abbiamo) at the beginning of Bk 9

It's John Milton's birthday! We are lucky to look after a copy of the original issue of his 'Lycidas' (part of a 1638 collection of poems marking the death of Edward King), with corrections & additions in Milton's own hand. Find out more on our Digital Library. cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/PR-ADV-...

Centuries ago, many astronomical books included moving parts to help readers interpret the world around them.

This biscuit recreates a diagram from Sacrobosco’s ‘De Sphaera’ (c.1550). It could be used to calculate the changing length of daylight hours through the year. 🍪

Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.
