Just an 18th-century scholar introducing a survey of conchology with “I never claimed to be a conchologist.” 😂 Emanuel Mendes da Costa, Elements of conchology, 1776. 🐚 https://archive.org/details/elementsofconcho00mend/mode/1up #history #historyofscience #sciart #bookhistodons #18thcentury

Nouvel article sur mon carnet de recherches :

“L’expositio missae de Florus de Lyon : un état de la tradition”

Quelles éditions ? Quels manuscrits ? Quel public au moyen âge ?

Book and paper history bubble: I came across a late 18th-century almanach-style notebook in the @labnf today which has a metal stylus (I don’t know whether this is the original one) and is supposedly made of a special paper that can be written on with any metal point. If writing with the provided stylus you are supposed to be able to erase. Marketed as a novelty - but it is? Anyone know more about this or where I might look for further clues?

#Introduction again since I moved servers to here! I'm Alex, a PhD student in Information Science at Indiana University. I study book history, especially booksellers and private libraries in early modern Navarre/Spain. I'm interested in the intersections between book history and infosci, bringing GIS, digital humanities, and quantitative methods to book history. Whenever I graduate, I want to be a DH librarian! I'm also the bibliographer for the Chymistry of Isaac Newton project and for SHARP News! #BookHistory #DigitalHumanities #GIS #Data #Libraries #bookhistodons

Artémise, une #femme capitaine de vaisseaux en #Grèce antique, de Violette Sébillotte Cuchet

C'est complet, situé, modeste et brillant à la fois. En prime, histoire et historiographie du genre, envisagées avec rigueur.

Pour écouter l'auteur : http://parolesdhistoire.fr/index.php/2022/04/04/244-artemise-et-lenjeu-du-pouvoir-feminin-dans-le-monde-grec-antique-avec-violaine-sebillotte-cuchet/ (notamment)

@andreloez meilleur prescripteur de lectures d'histoire 😀
