We're very excited to announce that we're running a small workshop-style colloquium on the afternoon of 17th May. Spaces are very limited, but follow along on #teachingcodex for all the discussions!
Art historians, medievalists, church-crawlers, lovers of light and colour: please please help save this brilliant archive of medieval stained glass. It’s such an important record and teaching tool - let’s keep The Rose Window alive ❤️ gofund.me/2a857aa1 #arthistory
I keep staring at the newly released photo of Kate Phillips as Jane Seymour from season 2 of "Wolf Hall". I can't get over how beautiful her dress is, and how much it looks like the famous Holbein portrait, even down to the blackwork. This is historical costuming done right.
For #WorldBookDay2024 , I'll be giving away a copy of #1000TudorPeople which will be published on 28th March. For a chance to win, follow, like, and retweet. The winner will be announced on 12th March. Good luck! @graffeg_books #Giveaways #win #books #tudors
I’m pleased to share the new website I’ve made for Leo Cadogan Rare Books! We’ve got an introductory offer of 20% off until 14 March (use code NEWSITE at checkout). Looking ahead, I’m excited about the new ‘about books’ blog in the works. Watch this space! leocadogan.com
Revisited the Chaucer Here and Now exhibition at @bodleianlibs again last week and had to get the postcard of the Wife of Bath on her excited noble steed from Ox, St John's, A.2.5 - skillfully condition-checked by @sian_witherden and digitised by @sophiebwaterman !
Want to know more about Merton's copy of Caxton's first edition of Chaucer? Read an essay by @J_Misson now on the @MertonCollege website merton.ox.ac.uk/mertons-copy-c… #Chaucer #Caxton #15cbooks
Nothing like the experience of going to the Chaucer exhibition at the Weston Library with @sian_witherden and seeing a book you digitized behind glass, and then seeing postcards of a photo you took on sale at the gift shop 😂
We are delighted to announce that Caroline (Caz) Batten of the University of Pennsylvania has won the SMSF Best Article Prize 2022-2023 with the article entitled 'Dark Raiders: Disease, Sexual Violence, and Gender Performance in the Old English Maere and Old Norse Mara'.
Hugely enjoyable afternoon getting hands-on with the medieval instruments of @MertonCollege, with a handful of fabulous & learned colleagues.
Blue gloves were donned today as @sian_witherden and @SarahM_Griffin get up close to the Zodiac Man on the physician's quadrant @MertonCollege
My wonderful colleague @sian_witherden and I did some filming today for a promotional video! Keep an eye out for it on the @StJohnsOxLib website soon!
The illuminations in this 1530 Parisian book of hours are lovely! The entire book will be available to view on Digital Bodleian soon. In the meantime, if you would like to learn more about it, you can read this blog post, "St John’s Printed Manuscript": stjohnscollegelibraryoxford.org/2023/02/05/st-…
MS 131, a beautiful Psalter and Hours of the Virgin, has now been fully digitized! (Pictured: f 6v and 7r) View it here: digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/2a3ee9… #digitization #manuscript
There are just a couple of weeks left to see our exhibition "From Ink to Pixels". Case 3 shown here focuses on manuscripts with elegant decoration, including gold leaf. You can read more about it here: stjohnscollegelibraryoxford.org/2023/04/18/fro…
The elephant through the centuries MS 61, fol. 10v (York, 13th c.) MS 178, fol. 160r (England, 14th c.) Y.1.3(1): Conrad Gessner, Historia animalium liber I (Zurich, 1551) Gamma.scam.1-38 (vol. 27) : G. L. Leclerc, Histoire naturelle, 2nd edn, 37 vols (Paris, 1750-1789)
I was remiss in not posting at the time, but I so enjoyed visiting the 'From Ink to Pixels' exhibition at @StJohnsOxLib. @sophiebwaterman and @sian_witherden are digitising and describing wizards. 📖 📸
MS 301 has now been fully digitized! It is a selection of 16th century documents, including a letter signed by #ElizabethI. (Pictured: f 7r and f 8v) View it here: digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/8984cf… #tudortwitter #historicaltwitter #DigiLibSJOL
MS 180 has now been fully digitized! This 17th century English part-book forms a pair with MS 181. (Pictured: ff 44v-45r) View it here: digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/objects/e56623… #historicaltwitter #manuscript #DigiLibSJOL
MS 32 in our exhibition 'From Ink to Pixels' has a near-unbroken chain of provenance that can be traced from Venice to Madrid, Granada, El Escorial, and – of course – St John’s College Library. (shown here: f. 54v) You can read more about MS 32 here: stjohnscollegelibraryoxford.org/2023/04/18/fro…
