10 Nov. 1668 #OTD Alice Thornton wrote to her cousin Lady Mary Yorke declining her offer to take teenager Nally, Thornton's daughter and Yorke's god-daughter, to be confirmed by the bishop, knowing it was part of a plot to prevent Nally's marriage to Thomas Comber. #EarlyModern 🗃️

#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.

It appears everybody is 'ill satisfied' in January 1637, at least in the eyes of the second viscount Conway anyway. Something tells me he's not entirely the life of the party #earlymodern

Does anyone know what publishers/series are actively acquiring in either early modern (European) urban history or early modern European jewish history? (Looking into this for a friend).

Our #dunnettquote of this week accompanies Phelim to the castles on the banks of the Loire.
"...O'LiamRoe could and did alarm with unseemly fables of the Gobbam Saer; but Delorme, god of masons, could reduce him to silence; and the names of Limousin and Duret, of Rosso and del Sarto, Cellini and Da Vinci, Primaticcio and Grolier rose familiarly to his lips. With Robin Stewart sour and Thady discreet behind him, he wandered happily though Castle Aubigny and, next day, through Stewart's other beautiful house on the Nère, touching silverwork and embroidery, admiring paintings, savouring gem-bound books and tapestries, imported tiles and Milanese beds and Florentine marquetry, the frescoes and the grave, Italian marbles. ..."

This is admittedly rather out of date now, but in this blogpost I discuss the wonderful experience I had presenting my research to the Association of Business Historians in 2023 for the Coleman Prize session. Thanks to the EHS for its support, and all recent PhDs should give the Prize a look!

The German speaking Dunnett readers met last weekend in Darmstadt for the International Dunnett Day.

A cheerful get-together in the afternoon and evening and a visit to the castle museum the following day were on the program.
A toast to Dorothy: a cheerful group around a table raises the glasses! The group on their way into the castle of Darmstadt, walking across the court towards the entrance with the belltower. A view into an inner courtyard with cobblestone paving bordered by a fieldstone wall. A group photo in front of a historical carriage from the 19th century. The carriage is located in the entrance area of ​​the castle museum in Darmstadt.

Why is the 1st Quarto of #Hamlet so hilarious?

"To be, or not to be, aye there's the point.
To die, to sleep, is that all? Aye all:
No, to sleep, to dream, aye marry there it goes."

In the new #openaccess companion on student notes from Latin Europe (@leuvenup.bsky.social), our own Lorenz Demey, together with collaborators, contributes a chapter arguing that student notes hold great promise as sources for intellectual #history 👇 lup.be/book/student... #HPS #earlymodern #philsky
Book cover of "Student Notes from Latin Europe (1400–1750): A Research Companion," edited by Xander Feys, Maxime Maleux, Andy Peetermans, and Raf Van Rooy. Published by Leuven University Press. The cover features a partial diagram of concentric celestial spheres and an anatomical drawing of a human head labeled with Latin terms for sensory faculties. The design is minimalist in beige and gray tones. There is also an open access logo and the logo of Lueven University Press in the bottom left corner.
