Das hier 👇 war gestern Nachmittag in Mainz. Es war ein langer und anstrengender Tag - aber diese Veranstaltung war das Highlight. Es wurde lebhaft diskutiert. Der Wunsch, so etwas zu wiederholen, gerne bald, wurde gleich mehrfach geäußert. Für Kilian und mich kann ich sagen: Gerne.

It's always a thrill to see Elizabeth I's (larger than life) signature! You can see it in person in our "How to Be a Power Player: Tudor Edition" exhibition now through the end of July.

And check out this opportunity to learn to read early modern handwriting! Tricky but rewarding! 👇
Now that's a signature. ✒️ This 1602 letter from Elizabeth I to the High Sheriff of Warwickshire is currently in the @folgerlibrary.bsky.social collections.👑

Here's the whole tooled pigskin binding. The book inside, published by Katherine Gerlach in Nürnberg in 1585, is comprised of two musical texts, one of which is printed (particularly beautifully) in red and black on vellum!

#Skystorians, I'm trying to see if there's an interest in an online early modern/late medieval German paleography group, where we'd transcribe or look over documents together on Zoom.

If anyone would be interested in joining something like this, let me know!

#onmydesktoday: A book devoted to #earlymodern news. More precisely to the news flows of certain years, in script and print, and many languages. A focus upon serialised news flows and their storytelling. Good tidings, #newshistory.

An absolutely stunning photo! The 35m-long #Roman shipwreck, along with its cargo of 6,000 (!) amphorae was discovered in 2019 off the coast of the Greek Island of Kefalonia.
It’s one of the largest Roman shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean.
