MEDIATE

ERC-funded project at Radboud University that seeks to study the circulation of books and ideas in 18C Europe by drawing on a database of library catalogues

[CIRGEN @CIRGEN1]

🔊🔊 We are THRILLED to announce that our book "Gender and Cultural Mediation in the 18C. Women Across Borders" has been accepted by @Palgrave. Out in October this year!
With top specialists in cultural, intellectual + gender history, literary criticism and translation studies:

L'historien du livre @R_Jagersma remet les catalogues - le matériel source de la base de données - dans son contexte comme objet.

Les catalogues donnent un aperçu d'une collection à un moment précis (généralement après la mort du ou de la propriétaire).

Anna de Wilde présente sa recherche sur les collections juives des Pays-Bas qu'on retrouve dans des catalogues de différentes langues (yiddish, hébreu et néerlandais).

Pour conclure, @HelwiB présente son projet de bibliographie des catalogues de collections privées en France.

C'était en fait un genre: un libraire a publié un catalogue de ce qu'il avait à vendre comme s'il s'agissait de la collection privée d'un autre individu.

[Michelle Margolis @hchesner]

Yay!!! So happy to see this is live. Many implications for @Footprints_Heb and the history of Jewish books as well.

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

Alicia Montoya, directrice de @Mediate18c, commence par présenter son équipe, incluant le développeur, les stagiaires de 1er cycle et (j'ai jamais vu ça, belle première!) l'entreprise philippine à qui a effectué le travail de reconnaissance optique de caractères (OCR).

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

Chaque membre de l'équipe de @Mediate18c a donc effectué ses propres recherches pour trouver les catalogues imprimés dans son contexte national.

La base de données bibliographique à venir de ces catalogues (oui, c'est très méta) s'appelle BIBLIO.

(Finally) signed my contract so I guess it's official?

[MEDIATE @Mediate18c]

We are still working on our MEDIATE database and hope to launch it next summer! #OpenAccess

[MEDIATE @Mediate18c]

The database has almost 40 items printed in Bolsward. Including 'Uytgelesene Engelsche Boet-predikatien' with this lovely engraving (1661, published by Samuel van Haringshouk)

[NBV @NbvBoekhist]

In de special issue van 'Eighteenth-Century Studies' een artikel van Alicia C. Montoya van @Mediate18c - "Enlightenment? What Enlightenment? Reflections on Half a Million Books (British, French, and Dutch Private Libraries, 1665–1830)". Toegankelijk via @KB_Nederland

[Roel Smeets @rjhsmeets]

Are you interested in doing a PhD at the intersection of digital humanities and women's studies? This project will be supervised by me and prof. dr. Alicia Montoya @RU_Letteren

[Marie Léger-St-Jean (marielsj.bsky.social) @Marie_LSJ]

Hearing at #USTC21 about the @Mediate18 database of 2-3000 18th-century private library auction catalogues.

Sounds like @livesinlibrary's project reconstructing Lord Byron's library from 3 auction catalogues which I heard about at the @bsc_sbc conference.

Joanna Rozendaal (@Radboud_Uni) describes her findings in the archive of the firm Luchtmans, Leiden-based publishers and booksellers active 1683–1849. The archive is held at @AllardPiersonMu.

Reminds me of @bookhistories's awesome Swedish sources.
