Saturday morning is for gardening and paleography! Thanks to @rarebookschool.bsky.social for letting me see, handle, and photograph these beauties, includng a Renaissance riddle long hidden on the back of a fragment.
A rare opportunity.
I’m excited to be back at @rarebookschool.bsky.social this week! I am taking a class on “Material Foundations of Map History, 1450-1900.” Rare Book School is my favorite week each summer, and I am so glad to be back in Charlottesville!
Gearing up to teach Evidence in Handpress-Era Books, 1450–1830, @ransomcenter.bsky.social for @rarebookschool.bsky.social next week.
It’s gonna be hardcore, as all good bibliography is.
Rare Book School rocks! Took Book Illustration Processes to 1900 with Terry Belanger back in the day. ❤️
