Hey! Do you have an almanac? After taking care of your seed stock, it's time to start thinking of what to grow for spring.
We have about 59 days left of winter! #Almanacs are an invaluable resource keeping track of approximate season lengths and weather forecasts for your region.
The Times They Are a-Changin'
In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII moved the calendar. Rebecca Hirt (@kit.edu), in our blog, explores the impact that this shift had on almanacs. You can read it here: www.ustc.ac.uk/news/when-te...

Painting from Joachim von Sandrart, The Month of January, 1642 (Staatsgalerie Schleißheim). A seated old man is warming his hands by the fire, beside him is a table with ham, cheese, bread, and a copy of a Schreibkalender.
A detail of the painting: the Schreibkalender.
That's a #Schreibkalender (a writing calendar) of #earlymodern German-speaking Europe. Almost hidden as a detail in this painting from 1642.

Delighted to be part of the History of Scholarship and the Global Imagination seminar series (Institute of Philosophy, CAS & Scientiae). My talk looked at how #earlymodern English #almanacs communicated new astronomy & helped shape 17th-c. scientific discourse. youtu.be/hxJ7n3gC6xs #historyofscience
Amazing workshop on #earlymodern #almanacs It was great to meet old and new friends in this amazing place #Fribourg
How did #almanacs provide orientation for a "New World"? I'll be talking about Spanish-American almanacs in this fantastic workshop in Fribourg, Switzerland organised by Vitus Huber. If you are interested in #earlymodern uses of #time take a look at the programme #histsci

The still life "Still Life with Earthenware Jug and Clay Pipes" from 1658 shows a table with a beer glass, a few clay pipes, and tobacco wrapped in paper.
Selling small amounts of tobacco was a thing, not only in taverns. And so you needed small papers to wrap tobacco into small selling units. Often, as paintings like this one from Pieter van Anraedt of mid seventeenth-century show, old papers - #almanacs and #pamphlets - were used.
