An old book is open to a two-page spread featuring a wide array of sea monsters. Black and white woodcut.
Sea monsters from Munster's Cosmographia, mid-late 1500s. With a kind of steampunk-looking whale, a tree with duck fruits, and a hapless sailor tossed about by a giant lobster. #oldbooks #rarebooks #earlyprintedbooks

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.

Black and white print of a drawing of John Dee shown as a white man with long pointed beard, wearing an Elizabethan jacket, ruff and skull cap. Beneath the image is the text: 'Dr John Dee From an original picture in the Ashmolean Museum Oxford.'
Signature of John Dee from 1544 on the top corner page of a book.
Elizabethan magus John Dee amassed one of the largest libraries in the country during his eventful lifetime, but by the end of his life he lived in poverty, and had been forced to sell some of his beloved books. He died #OnThisDay in 1609 at the home of his friend John Pontois.

Cropped image from a book, showing a colour illustration of a manatee, lying on its side on sandy-coloured ground, next to a body of water. It looks exhausted and bit fed up!
Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the manatees, for today is their special day!
To celebrate Manatee Appreciation Day, here is an illustration from 'Animated Nature' (1828) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.

A rectangular graphic with a black background is divided into upper and lower parts. In the upper half on the left, bold white text reads “Rare Book School 2026.” To the left of this is a photo of a dark-haired woman in glasses and a bright red-orange scarf. She is seated at a table and is holding a light up to a page of a rare book that is lying open before her. In the lower half of the graphic is a photo of two people seated at a table. On the left is a woman with dark curly hair and a red tank-top. To the right is a bearded man in glasses wearing a grayish-blue polo shirt. They are examining a small rare book that the woman has lifted off the table. The upper and lower halves of the graphic are divided by a red horizontal bar on which white text reads “rarebookschool.org/schedule” and a black horizontal bar with white text reading “Apply Now!”
Spaces are still available in many of our summer 2026 courses, but don’t wait, as classes are filling up!
To view this year's schedule and learn more about the application process, visit rarebookschool.org/schedule. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Cropped image from a book showing a colour illustration of a (massive) bear. It appears to have a cheeky expression on its face, and a little red tongue is sticking out of its mouth!
Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the bears, for today is their special day!
This illustration of a bear comes from 'Animated Nature' (1828) by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.
