„Where are the books about snacks?“

Nice. What’s the source for this?

From Spitstorm to Shitstorm: A History of Hate Speech (forthcoming)

Total gamechanger. Wasn’t everyone in Europe slightly drunk prior to the intro of coffee ?

What is hate speech? | United Nations

"However, to date there is no universal definition of hate speech under international human rights law. The concept is still under discussion, especially in relation to freedom of opinion and expression, non-discrimination and equality."

„Did you hear the hoofbeats? They are attacking with the elephants again“.

That’s it.

You may find this book, a 1686 German translation/adaption from the original French version (namely Philippe Sylvestre Dufour's Traitez nouveaux et curieux du café, du thé et du chocolate) over here:

Three men are on this printed image. One man is dressed with a turban drinking coffee, the next man is wearing a Chinese dress and drinking tea, and another standing man is holding a cup of chocolate.

Our smiling coffee-drinker is part of a German publication (translated from a French title about coffee, tea, and chocolate). And that's why an Asian tea drinker and a chocolate drinking American are positioned next to the Arabic dressed coffee drinker. New drinks for Europe it was. #skystorians

A man with a turban holding a cup of coffee. This is a detail froma. 1686 print. More details in the thread.

First up, coffee time. In 1686, the world is in a different state of human-made mess, but a mess nevertheless. Can you see his anticipating smile under the beard when lifting the hot cup? ☕

are we really playing this decline tune of the blue skies again?

That’s good to know.

half-🐎-half-🐘!

One day I will write a thread about elephants in European books of the past.

This #earlymodern war-elephant might be relevant for #milhist too.

The poor elephant is stabbed by the way, that’s sabotage.

Nice

This image is from 1471 and pure gold. I hope the "elephant" was called Hannibal, but I am unsure. 🐘

A horse with an elephant head used in warfare, transporting two soldiers and a fortified tower. This detail is from a 1471 printed book (Speculum humanae salvationis).

Tell me you have never seen an elephant before without telling me ... #skystorians

A page from the highlighted print of 1471 (see first post for details), with a text part and an image part.

And here is the page in full glory, for #bookhistory and #skystorians with a leaning for Latin printed texts of 1471:

A praying man, looking grumpy. He is one being spitted on in the first post.

*zen-like calm humming*

A man sitting on a big chair, his hands are folded in praying. Four other men are around him, spitting on him. This is a detail from the Speculum humanae salvationis (1471 printed in Utrecht, nowadays the Netherlands). https://data.onb.ac.at/rep/10036309

Dealing with #hatespeech before the internet.

#InternationalWomensDay: Eva leading the way, and forming the Word Evangelium.

Nice!

Circular engraving with man with long hair and a finger raised to his lips.

Slightly browned version of same print, no surrounding letterpress.

KNEW I'd Seen That Somewhere

Bought a 1657 pamphlet with this little man telling you to be be quiet a while back...
Looks like I saw it first in this album of mostly devotional prints at #artinstitutechi assembled in 1798!
