To be naughty when you’re the grandson of a printer could have special consequences. #OnThisDay in 1587 Christophe Plantin punished the 11-year-old Christophe Beys. His grandson had to report his day in Latin, and then set up the report and print it on his grandfather’s presses.

Our delegation @bodleianlibs: @ammaframma, our PI @angelaNuovo (discussing the figures) and @RenEmMil1 @EUJH2020
Now a lively discussion on the graphs - what abt the sudden spike in prices per sheet in Venetian denari in 1600? Fascinating also the tiny (quinterno) editions of the penitential psalms @EMoBookTrade @bodleiancsb

An overview on the system of monetary account in #earlymodern Europe from our economic historian @ammaframma always proves to be enlightening! @EUJH2020
Replying to @HLaehnemann
Good introduction to the use of the database, now to the economic history behind it! No idea it was a Carolingian system of account behind it. Thx @EMoBookTrade! emobooktrade.unimi.it/db/pub… - all financed by EU research collaboration (long may it last!)

How do you identify a printed book that's lost its title page? Here, by using the offset on the flyleaf, flipping and enhancing the photo, then superposing the real title page to check the spacing... we can reveal that it's a 1716 edition of Virgil's works

Friday 14 February in Oxford, presentation of the results of the EmoBookTrade project
Deux de ces raretés avaient été publiées chez Nicolas Buon, fils de l'éditeur de Ronsard et propriétaire de Guillaume Nyon, qui habitait la maison en face, rue du Mont Saint-Hilaire.
Allez on va chasser les démons dans les magasins ! Quelques petites raretés dont même les reliures évoquent des textes sulfureux, et pourraient figurer dans la bibliothèque de Poudlard 😱. Le « Fléau des Démons » signé pudiquement I. B. Angevin est du philosophe Jean Bodin !
