Today is publication day! Thrilled that it's finally out. Enjoy some great Christmas reading about Reformation printers, Cranach, elaborate title page borders, Bibles and counterfeits. Or makes a great doorstop if that's not your cup of tea! 🎅🎄 https://t.co/6jpummBvrq

Excited to join the University of Salzburg as Assistant Professor of Modern History (Digital History). Looking forward to strengthening Digital History within Salzburg’s DH community and continuing my work on AI and the Reformation print industry.

The election of the Pope has always been a blend of the sacred, the political, and the downright theatrical. In today's Gone Medieval, Dr. Eleanor Janega and @jessicawarnberg look into the fascinating medieval origins of the Conclave: https://t.co/WKGX0xaUbE @GoingMedieval

9/ 🌐 One of USTC's joys is tracking these book travelers. They've found Italian books in Melbourne, French books in Riga, and Amsterdam imprints almost everywhere. #USTC #GlobalLibrary

1/ 🌍 Strasbourg's complex past—German till 1681, then French, with brief German occupations—reflects in its printed works. 📖 @APettegree notes new @universalstc data bridges gaps and identifies the duplicates in national bibliographies. #Books #History #France #Germany

8/ 🌍 Even in the 1530s, Fernando Colon bought books in Montpellier, printed in 34 different cities. This global spread is a testament to the effective international book trade of the time. #History #BookTrade
