The first known bound books occurred in India in the first century BCE. These books were made of palm leaves stitched together. These books don't last well but this is a 20th century example. #books #bookhistory #printinghistory

Integral to any office are books, defined as a collection of pages bound together. Scrolls, created of one long roll of paper wound around a central core, preceded the development of books. This is a 13th century Byzantine scroll. #books #bookhistory #printinghistory

It will be interesting to see if these inks develop the same corrosion problems as iron gall inks. #writinghistory #ink #printinghistory #history

Johannes Gutenberg (c1395-1406) developed an oil-based ink for use with his printing press as the previous water-based inks simply slid off his metal typefaces. He experimented with red inks as well as the very even black ink that became standard. #writinghistory #ink #printinghistory #history

📜 Happy to share my last article, which explores the life and handwriting of Bernardino Donato, a key figure in early 16th-century publishing.
His editorial contributions are reconstructed through prefaces and dedication letters.
The paper examines Donato’s script and presents a newly identified autograph: Ambr. L 109 sup. If you're interested in Renaissance publishing, Greek philology or palaeography, check it out!🔍

Mijn meest kunstzinnige naamgenoot: Carl Fasol (1815-1892).
Carl Fasol ontdekte een geheel eigen wijze om afbeeldingen te drukken. Het effect dat je krijgt lijkt op een raster zoals je dat later in krantenfoto’s kon zien, maar wordt in dit geval gemaakt door een zetsel van drukletters waarop punten van verschillende groottes staan in een matrixpatroon. Hij noemde die techniek ‘stigmatypie’.
In deze link enkele voorbeelden:

What's under the umbrella? Well, #newshistory, journalism from handwritten to printed to digital news, #maphistory, visual mapmaking by humans on whatever material, global #printinghistory, #manuscript usages, a trade focus on book flows, a reading history, and much more about communication flows and infrastructure usages with "books" of all formats and materials. Basically, #bookhistory is an overextension of many fields and approaches dealing with past communication flows and artifacts.
