@spparkle @JM_Philo @notquiteziggy @livesandletters Bodley took cues from Savile's refurb of Merton, and he also spent a long time on embassy at The Hague, v. near to the University Library at Leiden, which may have influenced his decisions for his library at Oxford

Excitement and engagement levels high yesterday when the @livesandletters Early Modern Studies MA students opened a folder to discover two letters written by Alexander Hamilton. Thanks to @UCLSpecColl for continuing to delight and surprise us with the treasures in the collection!

[Robyn Adams @dr_allotment]

It's so exciting returning to studying @UCLSpecColl materials in person with our new Early Modern Studies MA students @livesandletters. And the new UCL Object Based Learning Lab is a wonderful teaching space!

@Sammmyantha @presentcorrect yes!

@sashahandley @FolgerLibrary I'd second the suggestions of geranium/cranesbill, depending on dimension of petals. Also, this happily unites my twin loves of finding stuff in old books/mss and gardening, so thank you for posting! :)

Much excitement @livesandletters this afternoon as the goose quills collected by @OliveFSmith arrive. Cue adorable unboxing montage featuring @mattsymonds. Thanks Olivia! (the @UCLEMS_MA students will be appraised of their full provenance)
