The collectors’ obsession with rare medieval manuscripts

Books and manuscripts have probably been collectors’ items for longer than any other class of objects. They are coveted for different reasons. Most early collectors acquired books for the information conveyed by the text. De Hamel’s first case study, the 11th-century Benedictine monk Anselm of Bec, was a bibliophile in this classic mould. He wanted to read them.

On December 5, 1484, Pope Innocent VIII issued a bull (Summis desiderantes affectibus), which marked the beginning of the witch hunt that swept Europe in the 16th-17th centuries.
The papal bull specifically addressed the malign presence of witches and witchcraft in the Holy Roman Empire and authorized a formal inquisition into their activities.

💸 💸 💸 question for and tooters:

How much does it typically cost to restore a paper manuscript in overall bad shape? (e.g., with pages damaged because of humidity and ink corrosion)

My latest article, "Bloodstained Books in Renaissance Sicily: The Library of Matteo Barresi, Marquis of Pietraperzia," is out! Incredibly grateful to I Tatti Studies in the Italian Renaissance for hosting this side project of mine—which triangulates book collecting, princely fantasies & murder in sixteenth-century Sicily.

Link: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1

(Get in touch if you don't have access and would like to read it! I'll send you a DM with a copy.)

Queens of Jerusalem tells the story of an extraordinary, trailblazing dynasty of royal women who ruled the medieval Middle East (or Outremer), and how they persevered through instability to seize greater power.
