@Tyler_A_Harper Excellent. We had not much reason to know of each other when I worked at Ladd Library. I simply ordered your textbooks. But having attended and worked on college campuses for 20+ years your writings in the Atlantic were a breath of fresh air.

@VeraCausa9 I've been reviewing this inset again recently too. Quite marvelous. Many of the same details can also found on his other classically inspired maps. The Theatrum was an atlas, but this map was published within the Parergon that accompanied the bound volume.

@carolemadge I’ll be there for the first time in just a few days. Looking forward to it.

@DrJEBall Focus on ‘Following’ and avoid ‘For You.’

@simongerman600 According to Yougov polling ~70% of Americans disprove of the practice.

@vintagemapstore Among other things, the orientation has been changed.

Fool’s Cap World Map, c1590

[Matt @TheParergon]

@vintagemapstore Honestly, this is perhaps my favorite historical map because of the imagery, references, and mystery.

[Matt @TheParergon]

@VeraCausa9 Indeed. It’s quite good. I just ordered a copy for my own collection after reading a library copy when it first released.

@simongerman600 I've always thought it was interesting that regardless of size all mammals have roughly the same number of heartbeats throughout their lives.

@pschofie79 Absolutely love Young's Nietzsche. I think I own Monk's Wittgenstein, but I've never read it. I'll move it up the list.

@OptimoPrincipi That site is definitely on my next trip to Greece. The surrounding walls look amazing.

[Matt @TheParergon]

@pete_savin That’s a marvelous site!

@DirkBruere @wmarybeard You can freely download a copy of Martin Winkler's book on the subject from Ohio State.

@vikare06 One of the Wagner Group’s patches is actually Waaaaghner with clear Ork motifs. As a fan of Warhammer myself, it’s bizarre to see it’s imagery and language actively used by both sides of the conflict.

[Matt @TheParergon]

@chapps That one is stunning.

@omni_american One of my colleagues was curious how many papers specifically included that phrase. Sadly, he found several without too much effort.

@rogueclassicist I had to look up both Mary and the issue. I can’t say I’ve noticed them.
