Virtual (online) tour of the Library of the English College of Valladolid, organized last week in collaboration with the Middle Temple. Great honor to show some of their materials with the College librarian, Blanca Mateo.

DEP Teófanes Egido
Any attempt to summarize his legacy and his character falls short.
A good man, wise, humble, sarcastic, warm, hard-working, master, reference, and pillar for generations of scholars.
From today, history becomes a bit more orphaned.
You'll be sorely missed.

From this week's #research with #oldbooks, #penpractice with #alphabet

From this week's #research in the #archives, a lovely and delicate wax seal from a letter

For those interested in #earlymodern English Catholics and #religiousdiaspora, as well as English and Spanish politics and religion, this is just out: the edition of the fascinating correspondence of #RobertPersons, an opportunity to look into his life, deeds and networks

A great example of the "don't say 'papa'" reformist censorship in a copy of the Golden Legend.

Such a #joy #backtoresearch
Thanks @britishlibrary for working so hard to restore some services essential for #researchers #researchlibraries #librariesmatter

Sounds similar to our "roscon de reyes," with similar ingredients. It also includes a "surprise," some small toy that is supposed to bring good luck

More manicules?
👉🏼 Has anybody come across a manicule like this? Trying to identify it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

On today's #manicule news, one that, if seen upside down, would look like a foot with an unusually long toe 🦶🏼

Somehow, the illustrator of this manuscript thought this represents a plague of flies and beetles 🤔
It's pretty, though 🤓
