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. https://t.co/0GMzwG8tvc

BREAKING: The golden Romanian helmet of Coțofenești, which was stolen last year from a museum in the Netherlands, has been recovered. Great work by the Dutch police!

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

Is het nou eigenlijk zo erg om emotioneel te zijn als je je daarna keurig herpakt en doorgaat?

[Buitenhof @Buitenhoftv]

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

The 2024 @CERL_org Annual Seminar wrapped up yesterday, but you can still check out the posters, including one from @theUL, which will stay on display for a little while longer!

[CERL @CERL_org]

A fascinating presentation on Greek printing from the 15c (outside Greece) to the 19c (in Greece) and the safe guarding of Classical knowledge, presented by colleagues from the Laskaridis, Onassis and Gennadius libraries.

[CERL @CERL_org]

I am happy to say the papers will be published and the posters will be published on the CERL website. Sorry the news of this event did not reach you earlier!

[Yun Xie @Yun__Xie]

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!

European Printing in non-Latin Scripts

[Dr Mark Purcell @CamLibResearch]

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.
