Interesting book commissioned by Lowys Porquin, a merchant from Antwerp. It was published in Antwerp in 1563 and includes a bio of his family and advice for his 11 children. Royal Library Brussels. Photos shared by @JanPauwelsKBR

On December 11, our edited volume 'In Readers' Hands' will be published with @Brill_History! It took a little while, but I'm so happy it's (almost) finally here! brill.com/edcollbook/title/7… #inreadershands

Did you know it only takes 5 minutes to read the primes of the Hours of the Virgin? Probably less if you know this by heart. Matins is long though, took me about 25 minutes... 🤯Imagine doing that every day first thing in the morning, in a pre-☕️ era no less! #BooksofHours

Here's another one from the Wavrin Master (BnF fr. 12572). Some other hits when you search for "viol" in Biblissima (but mostly related to Antiquity).

always intrigued when super English-looking chant ends up elsewhere, like this fragment now in Leuven. did it start life in England? when did it cross the North Sea? was somebody trying to keep it safe, or getting rid of it? #fragmentfriday fragmentarium.ms/view/page/F…

Scribe in 1470 writes 'turn over' and 'turn over the page'. Planning the lay-out is difficult! This is probably the first neat (presentation/promotion?) copy of a Middle Dutch translation of #Boethius De consolatione philosophiae, by Bruges goldsmith Jacob Vilt. @UniUtrechtLib
