Four variations on a zodiacal skeleton man, ready for Halloween

The COOLEST cover I’ve ever seen, portrait of Matteo Corti of Pavia on the front and his arms on the back #earlybooks #earlyprint #bookbindings (@NewberryLibrary)
This binder of this @NewberryLibrary incunable seems to have gotten distracted while stamping the leather, making these little square stampy guys very crooked on the back, where the front (image 2) has them all set neatly on point! #earlybooks #earlyprint
This amazing folio incunable is FULL of full-page, two-toned figural poems (“carmina figurata”), or, as I like to think of them, 15c word searches! 🔍 (@NewberryLibrary) #earlybooks #earlyprint
Thanks for this, @TradSongTues! We always love May #EBBAfinds!

'IN a May morning as I was walking
I heard two Lovers together talking...'
This one is from @EBBA_Ballads, published 1674-1679.

In Jan, I ordered a book from Ireland. Finnish mail screwed up & returned it. The bookshop resent it. And now I have it!
No longer quite the bargain it was, but I'm happy. #BookHistory #manuscripts #palaeography #EarlyPrint #StanleyMorison
Sincerity? It simply exists or not. Tomasz Treter, "Symbolica vitae Christi meditatio" (Brunsbergae 1612) #twitterstorians #emblem #earlyprint
So once plantation #cotton flowed into Europe, all #RagPaper and cardboard would've included material produced by the labour of #enslaved people. There's a #BookHistory viewpoint I've not thought of before!

A very clever 1964 “bibliographical collation computer” —the top row on the front (image 1) slides left and right to help you calculate! Found in the bottom of a reading room drawer @IULillyLibrary #bookhistory #collation #bibliography #incunabula #earlyprint #medievaltwitter
I got to hang with the @IULillyLibrary Nuremberg Chronicle yesterday and I would do it again... it’s gorgeous!! #medievaltwitter #incunabula #earlyprint #bookhistory #woodcuts #bookarts
@CorpusCambridge @suz_paul @BLMedieval @camedieval @BodCons @TheArtsSociety_ @westdeancollege @LovettPatricia @heritage_crafts @aldevine This ancient ancestor of our sprightly present-day collection carers survives in SP.106/'Navis stultifera', our #earlyprint copy of the Paris 1505 Latin trans of Seb Brant's 'Ship of Fools' (cf https://t.co/igkKlf5i4g):
For max #FridayFeeling, enjoy these vivacious #woodcuts!
Setting out an old daily planner offered a great opportunity for this student to copy the numerals. #prek #prekteacher #ece #letthemplay #play #Invitation #earlyprint #hbcspride
#ParkerAdvent2018 Day 11: Another day, another #sleigh! Well, several, one feat an ACE #reindeer! Also neat #woodcuts of #skis, #WinterWear, #WinterChildcare & #carousing, c/o our #earlyprint #OlausMagnus (1555, cf https://t.co/xPL1iq3TCw)

Yesterday was #AllSaintsDay & today is #AllSoulsDay, so here is a congregation of Saints from 'Nova Legenda Anglie', printed in 1516 by Wynkyn de Worde.

A weird and whimsical day here this #humpday, so our copy of Sebastian Brant's #ShipofFools (Paris, 1505: SP.106) seemed an appropriate choice for this #WoodcutWednesday!
And our #WednesdayWisdom? Er...#PityTheFool?!

Cor, you learn sth new every day! Today, c/o Schönsperger's 1497 #NurembergChronicle, I discover that this quartet of historical heavyweights all wore *exactly* the same snazzy #pincenez! And were physically identical! What're the odds?!
