Today is also the feast of Bruno of Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order. Here is a graphic novel version of the founding of the order from a copy of Guigo's Consuetudines cartusienses printed in Basel in 1510. #medievalsky #earlyprinting #bookhistory 🧵

Tomorrow's we'll present a new short list on Early Printing. One of its highlights will be this lovely little set of Gryphius's rare 16mo Ovid editions (1547), bound for the Dutch lawyer and statesman Johannus Mepschius or de Mepsche (1528-1585). Later found in collection of Jan Six.

Our #bookoftheday is a very cool find: rare first edition of selection of fragments from the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo. The title page contains several inscriptions in Latin, including a line by the author himself: "This book belongs to me, Augustini Hipponensis".

Our #bookoftheday is this rare #firstedition (Emden, 1566) of the first Dutch translation of John Calvin's commentaries on the Epistles of Saint Paul in a very interesting 16th-century panel-stamped decorated binding with several different portraits. More on our website.

Our book of the day is Pierre Belon's "L'Histoire de la nature des oyseaux" (Paris, 1555), first and only early edition of this extremely important work, one of the first ornithological compendiums to be based, at least in part, on field observations.

Spotted in the stacks as I was shelving my stack of newly cataloged books. Love the headpiece and its appropriateness for the Argonautica.

Our book of the day is this early 16th-century superb Humanist "Sammelband" with the collected works of three classical authors (Horace, Persius, and Juvenalis), in a fine contemporary Strasbourg binding. More info on our website.
