"I say damnation to them that takes a lefe out of my Book or Borrows one from me" -Henry Savidge #Bookcurses are not to be taken lightly, especially when found in a copy of "Satan's Invisible World Discovered" and written by someone with a savage last name. #macabrepacscl

Stop theft, invoke a demon. One shouldn’t lend a book unless one is prepared to part with it for good. But most books are fairly easy to replace. Not so in the Middle Ages, when every manuscript counted as one of a kind. https://t.co/nsNKH0fhgc #BookCurses #LibrarySecurity

#BookCurses by scribes tired of copying books in the dark: Simon Vostre of Paris added this to a Book of Hours that he wrote in 1502 Whoever steals this Book of Prayer May he be ripped apart by swine, His heart be splintered, this I swear, And his body dragged along the Rhine.

I just picked up the physical copy of my monograph on alchemical manuscripts to check something, and stumbled across its motto - which I had quite forgotten! #bookcurses #manuscripts #alchemy @bodleianlibs

Our Preventive team is currently working hard to develop new book curses to ensure our methods remain up-to-date... Any suggestions for 21st century curses? #preventiveconservation #bookcurses https://t.co/P1xSAqBVG3
