Scaling down activity here. Find us over the rainbow if you're so inclined!

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Searching Books using a date range is once again functional on the home page, huzzah! That said, please email us if/when you click on something and it errors out (and include a screenshot if possible)!

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Searching from the homepage remains broken (though it will be fixed soon, promise!). In the meantime, use the Search page to find the person or book that you're looking for!

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

@mmebibliophile @UCLHistory So happy for you, congratulations! And glad we were able to be of assistance 😊

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

As a heads up, the ability to search a date range of books on the homepage is currently down. Will restore soon!

Had a delightful meeting this week with Chris Mielke, who will be adding in primarily Hungarian women's books to BoD! New linguistic and literary traditions, here we come!

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Things have been quiet lately, but we're still here and about to celebrate our 4th birthday! If you'd like to get us a present, cite us in your work 😊

Double-checking a digitized manuscript, BnF fr. 1770, led to the happy discovery of its belonging to one Jeanne de Tuce, lady-in-waiting to a number of important 15th-century French aristocrats! Check it out here: https://t.co/JPhr0fZXvs

@BLMedieval @MedievalLitura Ooh, thanks for posting! We've added that location for her to BoD!

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Happy Friday from a milestone moment here at BoD: 1,500 books! We're already on our way to passing it, but documenting for posterity and all that 😊

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

A little late, but it's definitely still Friday on the West coast! Here's another newly added lady for your consideration: Renée de Bourbon (https://t.co/43SJxJaIe9)

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Happy Françoise de Foix Friday! Check out Books of Duchesses' newest lady here: https://t.co/0dZK9nbYXh

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Happy Friday announcement: we incorporated info from @dorianezerka's recent "Mapping Mobility" to get started on Elisabeth de Lorraine (https://t.co/wi6hegxv7c) and Marguerite de Joinville's (https://t.co/M6wJ8n7H4v) libraries!
Do *you* have a new article for us to cite?

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

We thought spring break would mean *more* time to add books to BoD, not *less*! Clearly something is amiss!

@DrLizLEstrange Which is so much fun to explore!

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Here's a question for #MedievalTwitter and #EarlyModernTwitter: Who's your favorite medieval/early modern female reader and why?

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

Happy Friday, and happy to report that we continue to make progress on Marguerite d'Autriche's books - we're all the way up to Item 33 now! Only 300+ more to go...

Hello there! It's been a while!
Finally easing back into things by making progress on inputting Margaret of Austria's library - which also means adding a whole lot to Mary of Hungary's as well. Check back regularly, as this is going to take a while: https://t.co/XeeH5yI3CC

[BooksofDuchesses @BooksoDuchesses]

This article by @MedievalLitura is a great example of the kind of connections the data in the Books of Duchesses project allows researchers to make!
