Nice 15rh-c. table for #reading #books on a parchment sheet by French miniaturist Simon Marmion (c. 1460), seen at Kunstmuseum Winterthur.

Marvellous 16th-cent. stone-carving at the cathedral of #Laon.

An approriately unfinished #poster ("add colour") from 1966 for an #exhibition of "unfinished paintings and objects" by #YokoOno, which I saw at the Yoko Ono exhibition at @KunsthausZurich

@Screator Hah, very interesting: obviously easier to use a stamp rather than autograph every book.

[Retweet:] #Earlymodern way of preventing pirated editions: handwritten proof of authenticity in each copy. Here signed by #publisher Pieter Gosse Jr.
"NB. The booksellers do not acknowledge copies as genuine unless they are thus signed [#signature]"

@tonnyw @ALopezPostma @catharijne Hah, ik zie het nu pas: iedereen dezelfde gedachte! 🤣

@catharijne Eerste gedachte: oh, het Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana met spitsbogen! (Wat niet betekent dat ik het niet mooi vind overigens)

#GoodFriday is St Matthew Passion day. Most musicologists know, but #historians of #reading and #writing and folks of similar ilk perhaps not: #Bach wrote words from the #Bible (and the chorale in the opening chorus) in red ink.

Last October I was in #Kyiv. Different times. Vibrant city with a young vibe. This #graffiti ("Erase the city") has in hindsight taken on an eery and unintended new significance.

I bought this 1966 issue of "Preuves" because it has a contribution by #JohnCage, but frankly I'm also enjoying the ads for #Olivetti typewriters (@OlivettiOnline @ArchOlivetti) and the country of #Belgium.

@EvaMomtaz We don't know each other, but here's some advice I give to everyone doing a PhD: don't make it too important, it won't be perfect, it won't be your magnum opus, and for almost all theses (mine included): few people will read it. Finishing it is the most important thing!
