Today, I came across these horses while transcribing. I like how you can clearly see that the same template was used for all three of these horses. (British Library: C 11 C 15) #Buchwissenschaft #Bookstudies #Unimainz #OCR-D #FGR

I'm unfamiliar with this. Is this a caxton-thing or rather a thing from his region? Are there examples in manuscript?
I noticed Wynkyn the worde doing the same here and there, but not this frequently.

Question:
I'm transcribing this edition of reynart the fox printed by Caxton and I noted, that he uses round r to start words with. It is not because he was running out of the other r's. He is still yousing them.

Throwing out a piece of parchment because it is torn? No way! You just stitch it together and write around it. #Buchwissenschaft #Bookstudies #UniMainz

We don't know much about how people dealt with their periods in the past, because due to taboos, it often wasn't written down. This means one of the most direct accounts of dealing with periods in the 18th century comes from... a murder trial.

1586, Christoph Erhard is blaspheming Luther by saying he is a perjury-ish Monk who had sex with women. Find out for yourself what he thinks about Luther and Phillipus...

Very important information, when writing 'Narrin' on somebody's forehead, use Fraktur or 'Schachtel-Buchstaben' #OCR #FontGroupRecognition #JGU https://t.co/Z9Ox4bLPGu
