A later owner tried to wash out a scribble on the title page of this Byzantine novel, but still the ownership inscription remains. A good thing too, as it tells us the book belonged to poet & playwright Ben Jonson.

Big thanks to the City of London Corporation's @TheLdnArchives, which looks after a property deed signed by #WilliamShakespeare 🎭, which helped Shakespeare expert from @KingsCollegeLon, Professor Lucy Munro, identify the exact location and size of his only property 🏠 in London – in a street in Blackfriars - which he purchased in 1613.

Today is the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This detail of the Madonna enthroned, holding a rose, with the Christ Child, is from a 15th-century altarpiece by Florentine artist Bicci di Lorenzo (1375-1452), which is on permanent display in the #AbbeyGalleries.

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.

Replying to @AdamLowisz
I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine and my Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line would collapse if I turned it off. What I am sickened by is years of slaughter in a stalemate that Ukraine will inevitably lose. Anyone who really cares, really thinks and really understands wants the meat grinder to stop. PEACE NOW!!

Today we remember George Herbert (1593-1633), a poet and priest of the Church of England. ‘The Temple’ is a book of poems written by Herbert. His poems explore religion and spirituality, and make interesting use of the book as a form. #LambethPalaceLibrary #EasterWings #Printed
