Just identified a fragment in my collection as a leaf from the Šaraknocʿ (Amsterdam, 1664) — the first Armenian hymnal ever printed in Europe.
It features a woodcut of the Virgin & Child by Christoffel van Sichem II, reused by Voskan Yerevantsi in Amsterdam.

#BookHistory #EarlyModern folk. Does anybody have experience with #Rescribe? Will it work with large files? I am working with BIBLIOTHECA VETERIS HISPANÆ, the scanned copies that have the volumes separately are incomplete, and the complete one is chunky and badly OCRed.

A wonderful page from a Parisian Book of Hours (Horae Beatae Mariae Virgine, 1490-1510) with and unusual floral border in the style of Bruges-Ghent. I love it!
