Among the rarities in the Jesuit archive in Rome are several hundred books carried by missionaries to China. The volumes date back to the 1500s. Between 1999 and 2002, about 40 of the books went missing. Now six of them are back. Where the trail led. dnyuz.com/2026/03/26/rare-bo…

A special thank you to @JoshuaFurnal and @ChronHib for helping trace the former owner inscription to the Schongau Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites founded in 1719 which is now a retirement home in Germany. #provenance @CERL_org

Another treasure of @SCA_MULibrary unique to our little island. The smallest (and possibly cutest) incunabulum catalogued to date. This little book features a woodcut image of Adam & Eve and the snake looking quite fed up! 🐍 RB 22 A/B, Basel, 1492 #incunabula #rarebooks

Wat is goed leiderschap? Een les van Johan Huizinga: bij leiders moet je kijken naar ‘wat voor grondhouding, wat voor deugden verspreiden ze’, stelt historica Beatrice de Graaf. ‘Als je zo handelt, komt het goed met de gemeenschap’ #buitenhof

Wat is goede leider?

This seminar is almost tailor-made for my research. It's a pity I didn't find out about it earlier! Hopefully, there will be a follow-up next year!

Excellent paper by @jdmccafferty conference of @CERL_org - on printing in Irish in 16c and 17c - a twin-track history. An unsurprising story, but set out with exemplary clarity & verve. Broadly: Protestant religious books become collectors’ items early on, and Catholic are used.
