Interesting that prominently mentioning "News from Tilly's Headquarters" was a selling point in Antwerp.

17th October. Battle of Lemgo. Well some folk like a bit of poetry (and fall for it). Others like a bit of archival endeavour.

Where do you stand?

A good opportunity to think through genres of contemporary writing about the #30yearswar. I haven't heard of Latomi, but the pamphlet literature is filled with "recent histories" which seem to be distinct from the newspapers @vor400.bsky.social has been working from.

Thank you very much for your service. Even though I have spent a lot of time on the #30yearswar, I continually learned new things from your posts.
Are you sure you don't want to keep going with the newspapers in the Bremen collection 😉? brema.suub.uni-bremen.de/zeitungen17/...

I should look at things more closely sometimes...
I finally went through the list of autograph letters of #30yearswar figures auctioned off here (there were 72 of them)and there was one massively important document that I didn't notice the first time: www.venator-hanstein.de/katalog/deta...

Semi-apropos, Venator and Hanstein are auctioning off a bunch of autograph letters from commanders in the #30yearswar. Judging from this Wallenstein letter, it looks like the Cromwell letter is a better deal. www.venator-hanstein.de/katalog/deta...

Since @drkarrschmidt.bsky.social shared a page from her lovely album amicorum on bsky today, I thought I'd link to this image from an album amicorum that sold at auction today (alas, not to me). Lorentz Otto von Ottersbach escaping rebelling Upper Austrian peasants in 1626. #30yearswar
