The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, at Birkbeck, University of London, is looking for a talented researcher to join a project focused on expanding our understanding of non elite writers and writing in seventeenth century England. As Postdoctoral Research Associate you will join 'Written Worlds in Seventeenth-Century England', an exciting Leverhulme Trust–funded project. The role is offered on a 13 month, part time (17.5 hours a week) contract with a salary of £22,124 rising to £25,189 per annum (pro-rated £44,247 to £50,379 per annum). In this role, you will carry out dedicated research on non elite textual production, working closely with the Principal Investigator, Professor Sue Wiseman, and the Co Investigator, Dr Brodie Waddell. You will have the opportunity to work extensively with manuscripts and printed sources, visit archives, investigate datasets, develop the project database, and contribute to shaping the project’s scholarly outputs - and you may also be involved in textual editing. As Research Associate, you will focus on one of two thematic strands: 1. Non elite writing produced in the provinces, or 2. Writing produced by non elite women. Further details via link

What a wonderful image! 😍
Oh, apologies John, I just saw that guessing was not allowed 😁
Might it may also refer to a writing desk of some sort. I am thinking it could be a Dutch version of Latin word scriptorium. But it is a wild guess.
Sad to be missing out on this, looks wonderful!
This year we are celebrating our 10th anniversary. We are currently busy working on a festive special issue. From now on, we will also be looking back every Thursday. Please follow us and stay tuned. #throwbackthursday

Is het de moeite?

Ik zal het voor je zoeken, het is allicht pas voor volgend jaar
Ik heb het ooit gelezen en denk dat ik een gekopieerd exemplaar heb.
@onslies.bsky.social voor op je leeslijst!
Not that I know, I will check whether they are red on my map as well.
No one, I just have it on the wall in my office. ;-) The red dots are the free imperial cities.
Even more crucially @stcvbe.bsky.social is even on Bluesky! One can tell I have been off social media for a while 🐢
Short Title Catalogue Flanders turns 25, I forgot the crucial bit! 🫣
The Short Title Catalogue turns 25! We had some wonderful celebrations on Monday. We sniffed a German book under the expert guidance of @svanimpe.bsky.social, got chocolates and declared our love to early modern books #bookhistory
Goede inschatting dat ik veel tijd heb om te lezen 😁
Thanks to Deutsche Bahn, one gets to unexpected places. I have always wanted to see Neuss (set ablaze by Alessandro Farnese in July 1586), I just did not think it would be on my way from Belgium to Mainz 🤔
Auguri Federica! 👏
For those visiting Antwerp (esp. those of you attending for the Women&Household in Book Trade conference next week) do not forget to go and visit this library gem as well! #bookhistory
Een echte rave review is het ;-)
