After a few great articles in the "Golden Compass" about female printers/publishers at the #Plantin Press, I searched in my collection for examples. I didn't know I had so many 😱.
I put them together on my website: sites.google.com/view/oldpape...

A page with an image from Albrecht Dürer's Apocalypse. The image shows, among other details, a man "eating" a book being given from God.
And here is the page with the highlighhted woodcut detail of St. John in full glory. It was published firstly in Dürer’s Apocalypse (1498), as one of 15 full-page images. #bookhistory

Shot of the early modern open book on a grey book pillow on a wooden table. Inside you see printed text on the verso page and an engraving within an engraved border on the facing recto page
Engraved title page of the book. Designer/Engraver: The title page bears the monogram of Pieter Huys (active 1550–1581), a noted Flemish designer and engraver. Imagery: The design is highly architectural, featuring large, elaborate columns framing the text. In the background, it depicts a Renaissance palazzo or building, which serves as a metaphor for the book’s title, Monuments evoking human salvation. Symbolism: The engraving shows people walking in a foreground square, suggesting the reader is on a balcony or podium overlooking the scene, inviting them to enter the "architectural" structure of the book's theological meditations. Text: At the head of the title is the inscription: "Regi seculor immortali s.".
Early modern book in an elaborate French fanfare binding, featuring dark leather boards decorated with intricate gilt tooling, interlacing strapwork, floral ornaments, and small gold dots.
A new gem in our collection: a remarkable 1571 copy of Plantin’s Humanae salutis monumenta. Because text, borders and plates were printed separately, no two copies are alike. This one is beautifully bound in an exceptional French fanfare binding.

I missed #2, but the 1st of these lectures included a fascinating discussion of how to assess literacy in China, and just how many people read the cheaply printed "myriad treasure" genre. #bookhistory

Screenshot of an Instagram video capturing pope Leo with his mouth open in astonishment
Pop Leo asked if he should put on gloves to turn pages in the gorgeous Renaissance Bible and the librarian explained why it’s better to do so with bare hands. Glorious reaction.
Every rare books librarian & archivist feeling very seen, I gather. www.instagram.com/reel/DUcpEBY... #BookHistory

Medieval monks in Easter Ross – and not the Hebridean island of Iona – may have created the intricately decorated Book of Kells, according to researchers. A new project will explore the possibility it was created at a monastery in Portmahomack

Can anyone help me clear this up? I’m looking at a 1687 edition of Drexel’s 'De sonne-bloeme,' supposedly published by the widow of Jan Cnobbaert (Maria de Man). However, records show she passed away in 1671—16 years earlier. Is the date 1687 a typo, or am I missing something? #bookhistory #Antwerp

My colleagues made this stunning new laptop sticker depicting the cover of "Hs 1073", one of the historical manuscripts kept at @tresoar.bsky.social.
Now I just want to close my computer and look at it.
